Irene Li, Client Partnerships Manager, CJ

It is easy to forget that Irene Li began her CJ career only a little over a year ago as she's already making waves with innovative client strategies. Irene came to CJ with a background in sales and extensive experience with high-stakes negotiations, which have helped propel her to garner instant success in managing partners, building client trust, and influencing meaningful change. “Irene is a triple threat---she's intelligent, articulate, and personable---and from day one she has used these strengths to push the status quo and her clients and team are stronger for it,” says Kristi Romero, Sr. Client Development Director.

Her positive persistency pays off with her partners as “she never takes no for an answer and doesn’t shy away from getting creative to solve a problem.” Romero continues. “Irene is also a leader within the wider organization, sharing her knowledge and skills with newer colleagues and collectively elevating CJ Client Development to deliver the best possible results for our clients and publisher partners.”
