We'll continue to leverage our distinct passion and differentiated expertise to keep delivering exceptional results.

Gunderson succeeds Bill Baker as he transitions from CEO to a chairman position until his planned retirement later this year. Baker first joined The Lacek Group in 1996 and has served as CEO since 2000, leading significant growth and marketplace recognition as an industry leader.

“I'm honored and humbled to step into the role of CEO at The Lacek Group, and especially to build on Bill's accomplished leadership,” said Randy Gunderson. “Lacek has a 30-year legacy of vigorous innovation, setting industry benchmarks and creating enduring customer relationships-and I'm excited to build on that momentum. We'll continue to leverage our distinct passion and differentiated expertise to keep delivering the exceptional results our clients expect in today's evolving and dynamic consumer landscape.”

Additionally, Michelle Wildenauer will take on an expanded leadership position as executive vice president, Client Services and Strategy. This move will enhance the agency's focus on delivering integrated and high-impact solutions to help our world-class clients exceed their business and customer goals.

“It has been an incredible privilege to lead The Lacek Group for 25 years,” said Bill Baker. “I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together, and I am confident that Randy and Michelle are the right people to guide the agency into the future. Their deep understanding of our clients, our people, and the evolving landscape of brand-devoted customers makes them uniquely qualified to drive growth and continued success.”
