Howe has been a core driver of Weber Shandwick's success over 25 years at the agency, having held many prominent leadership and client roles in her career. She was the company's first chief growth officer, a new role established in early 2020 responsible for enhancing collaboration between sectors and specialties throughout the organization to drive growth. The role was a natural expansion from her previous position – chief collaboration officer – a first-of-its-kind C-suite role charged with driving deeper integration among the agency's disciplines. During her time as chief collaboration officer, Howe helped to architect and implement a new approach to talent mapping and teaming at Weber Shandwick, which resulted in a new talent model organized around the distinct value the agency brings to clients. She previously was responsible for the agency's best-in-class global Consumer Marketing practice, and flagship Chicago operation.

Howe continues to provide senior counsel to many of Weber Shandwick's largest and longest-tenured clients, including Nestlé and Anheuser-Busch. As a member of Weber Shandwick's leadership team, Howe also helps to drive the agency's commitment and strategy to becoming the most inclusive, anti-racist organization in the industry. She is a dedicated supporter of women in business and currently serves as the chair of Northwestern University's Council of One Hundred, which connects successful alumnae to female students and graduates to support their career advancement. Howe is also a member of IPG's Women's Leadership Network, which aims to be a force for gender equality and opportunity for women within the holding company.
