Maris Hanson, Chief People OfficerHanson brings extensive experience in organizational leadership, workforce innovation, and culture development. At /prompt, she is responsible for advancing a people strategy that supports the company's values of Leading with Respect, Being Creators, Partnering Proactively, and Owning It. In this role she will emphasize collaboration, inclusivity, and professional development, while spearheading technology-led solutions to support both employee success and business performance. Previously, Hanson served as Vice President of Human Resources at Velir, where she transformed and standardized HR practices, driving organizational growth and attracting top talent.
“I joined /prompt because I saw a rare combination of vision, values, and momentum,”said Hanson.”This is a team that's not only thinking big, about pharma, about AI, about the future of work, but also deeply committed to creating a culture where people feel seen, supported, and empowered. That's the kind of environment where great things happen, and I'm excited to help shape it.”
Janelle Starr, Chief Commercial OfficerStarr is a multi-faceted agency leader with more than 25 years of experience spanning production, technology, operations, growth, marketing, and client service. At /prompt, she leads the agency's commercial strategy, integrating services and capabilities into cohesive solutions that help clients navigate complexity with clarity and creativity. Prior to joining /prompt, Starr served as Chief Client Officer at Heartbeat, a Publicis agency, where she led the Client Service and Growth teams and helped shape the organization into a premier global healthcare agency of record.
“What drew me to /prompt is its independence and ambition,” said Starr. “Too many agencies are busy updating old operating models for new challenges. /prompt is doing the opposite — building a platform company designed for the world as it is now, and as it's rapidly becoming. How could I pass that up?”
With Hanson guiding people and culture and Starr leading commercial expansion, /prompt is enhancing its ability to deliver integrated marketing solutions, bold creative, and measurable results.
“The addition of Maris and Janelle reflects /prompt's commitment to building a leadership team that supports and challenges the amazing people we have throughout the organization,” said Paul Dyer, CEO of /prompt.”Their expertise and leadership will be instrumental as the agency continues to scale and deliver meaningful impact for clients.”
