Since taking the helm of North Carolina's destination marketing organization in November 2013, Tuttell has led the state through a remarkable period of growth, engineering creative strategies that helped North Carolina become one of the top-visited states in the nation.

Tuttell further led Count On Me NC, a public health initiative—launched in collaboration with other industry groups and public health officials—that promoted safe travel practices to help businesses reopen in the wake of the pandemic.
