Eleven Inc. promoted Michele Sileo to partner, chief growth officer. In her previous role, she was associate partner and group business director, where she oversaw the company's new business and growth from existing clients. In her new role, Sileo joins the six other partners in managing agency operations, and will continue to drive growth for Eleven, working with the agency clients and partners.

Sileo began her career at Deutsch NY, launching IKEA in the US. She then worked in California at Hal Riney & Partners, where she spent nearly a decade working on brands like GM's Saturn, GM EV1 and Sprint PCS.

"Michele has been a driving force at Eleven since she arrived twelve years ago," said Courtney Buechert, CEO of Eleven. "She is the face of the agency with new client relationships and has helped propel us into a new era of growth. And her natural strength has made her a pillar for our culture–always leading with urgency, commitment, and a gift for pulling us all together. Her elevation as a Partner is well earned, and I'm grateful we're together in all this."
