Expert in Brand, Community & Culture
Leadership Coach
Co-Founder Hysterical
I'm a pioneer with a passion for launching and growing businesses. I spent the early days of my career in marketing building new ventures for iconic media brands Oprah Winfrey, The Food Network, Rachael Ray and Lifetime.
My experience in media naturally extended to a leadership role on lululemon’s widely admired community team. I helped drive growth for the activewear leader from 2009-2021. This tenure included the company’s early expansion in the US, to launching lululemon’s first store in Europe. I led Brand and Community for Asia out of the Hong Kong office from 2014-2018 during a time in which lululemon opened stores in eight new countries. My team was often first on the ground creating relationships and generating the grass roots brand awareness that has always been a differentiator for the lululemon.
Spearheading the brand's growth and leading multi-national teams, sometimes seven languages rich, cemented my belief in what really accelerates growth – a commitment to culture and developing leaders. I completed my run at lululemon by launching their first business outside the apparel category with classes, courses and coaching for Emotional Fitness.
I'm now consulting for startups and brands looking to drive growth by activating strong visions into reality. I'm also looking for the next big love story of my career. And, because I'll always be an entrepreneur, I am the Co-Founder of Hysterical, a multi-media brand dedicated to normalizing the conversation around Menopause. I live in Seattle with my family and teach a somatic based movement class for the community on the weekends. If you’re in the neighborhood, come sweat with me! With over 12 years of work experience in public relations and social media, I am a passionate and creative professional who loves to spread holiday cheer and promote positive messages. My mission is to help people get off the naughty list and onto the nice list, and to inspire them to celebrate the spirit of the season. As the head of public relations and social media for the North Pole, I manage the online presence and reputation of The Real Elf, a global phenomenon that brings joy and laughter to millions of fans. I am skilled in new media, social networking, and people-oriented communication, and I enjoy collaborating with diverse and talented teams across the world.
Most recently, I worked as a Manager Executive Support to the COO and the President of Growth at Publicis Media, one of the largest media networks in the world. In this role, I provided strategic and operational support to the senior leaders, and facilitated their internal and external communication, engagement, and alignment. I also leveraged my social media expertise to enhance their personal branding, thought leadership, and visibility in the industry. I contributed to several key initiatives and projects that helped drive the growth and innovation of the organization, and I learned a lot from working with some of the best minds in the media business.
