Dusty Howe

A Carmel native, Dusty attended Purdue University, studying Communication with a minor in Music Theory and History—an early signal of the way he blends analytical thinking with creative perspective. His path into marketing strategy was shaped by a series of formative experiences across industries, but one in particular stands out: leading marketing for a startup in the cell and gene therapy space. Over the course of three intense years, Dusty and his team launched, scaled, and ultimately sold the business.

That experience sharpened his ability to operate in complex, high-growth environments and informs how Dusty approaches his work today. He focuses on connecting the dots across disciplines—bringing together brand, demand, and sales strategy to help organizations move with clarity and purpose. He believes the most effective marketing doesn’t just participate in the market, but instead offers a distinct point of view that moves it forward.

Known for his ability to quickly synthesize information and uncover patterns, Dusty thrives in environments where complexity is the norm and clarity is hard-won.

Beyond the office, Dusty teaches and practices yoga, writes, and continues to refine his skills as a guitarist. He’s drawn to independent and foreign films, and enjoys exploring new coffee shops and restaurants while traveling.
