J.P. Regalado

Creative Director
Omnicom

"Favorite karaoke song “What’s going on?” by 4 Non Blondes. Why? Because I’m just so curious about things big and small so let’s just sing about it already.

Award-winning Creative Director with over 20 years of experience in advertising and entertainment. Responsible for business development, creative strategy and brand management. Currently responsible for Citibank’s 700+ retail locations nationwide. Formerly creative lead for Hershey’s, Reese’s, KitKat. Worked for iconic brand like Nike, Apple, Adobe.

A Harvard trained virologist, I made a pivot into creative after a life-changing experience on a study abroad called Semester at Sea. I’m the only human on earth to have fist-bumped Fidel Castro in Havana, Cuba. Upon return, I called up The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart, and the rest is history. 

Teacher and mentor to over 200 students and mentees over the years and love seeing those aha! moments.
