Earlier this year, Marty Wenzell was discussing his future with Jeff Goodby, his boss of 17 years. After a 30-plus-year career running accounts from Budweiser to Subway, Wenzell thought that it was time to “reinvent” himself.

“I thought, ‘Maybe it’s time to look at fresh opportunities,'” said Wenzell, who starts at Barkley Evergreen & Partners in Kansas City, Mo., as director of client strategy, a new position. “It’s a really good time in my life.”

A self-proclaimed hockey dad, Wenzell, 56, has two sons going off to college this fall (two others are in high school and middle school), which will free up his schedule a bit.
