After attending private prep school the Phillips Academy in Massachusetts, he matriculated to Stanford University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Economics with honors. Heading back to the East Coast, Torrence Boone earned a Master of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. Instead of diving immediately into his business career, the young MBA holder spent the summer as a professional dancer at Jacob’s Pillow Dance in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, a smart choice for anyone seeking to hone skills in work ethic, commitment, creativity, and teamwork. Following this experience and his tenure at Bain, he served in increasingly responsible digital-media and leadership positions at Avenue A (now Razorfish), Digitas, and Enfatico before joining Google Inc. in 2010 as Managing Director of Agency Development.
Skilled both in the logistics of interactive and direct-mail advertising and the nuances of agency relationships, Torrence Boone holds responsibility over the North American territory, basically working with large agencies to drum up large ad bucks. Based in New York, he offers a varied portfolio of Google products. Remembering his dance background, the leader and role model serves on the board of the Joyce Theater in New York, which presents a wide range of dance choreography and styles.
