Ned Ward

Since joining Stern in 2006, Ned Ward has had the opportunity to counsel and learn from some of the brightest minds in business. His client experience ranges from professional services and consulting to accounting and technology and AI, among other vertical industries. A lifelong student, he is always searching for new ways to hone his craft by applying insights and ideas from outside sources, believing inspiration can come from anywhere in the world – from emerging start-ups to more established brands – which he draws on to infuse creativity into client programming and message strategy. As senior vice president, his pragmatic leadership style combines with strategic thinking to enable his teams to effectively connect clients with top-tier media, conferences and industry influencers. Ned currently lives in New Jersey with his wife, son and daughter, but you might also spot them in any of the country’s national parks from time to time.
