Alyssa Toro

A veteran in design and advertising, Alyssa Toro is the chief creative officer of Connelly Partners (CP), a Boston based agency with offices in Dublin and Vancouver. She manages her global creative teams to develop ideas that are human, unique, and memorable. Toro found her home at CP 26 years ago, when she joined Steve Connelly as senior partner/CCO and helped to build the agency from day one. She prides herself on mentoring the next generation of creatives.

A designer by trade, Toro began her career at creative shops in Providence, including Leonard/Monahan, where she quickly rose to the director of design role. Later, she brought her expertise in conceptual design work and integration across many disciplines to both Ingalls and Hill Holliday as VP/director of design.

In addition to her work in advertising, she developed a nutrition product that was sold in 11 Whole Foods markets in the North Atlantic region. While work certainly keeps her busy, her truest passion is her family.
