As the Director of Talent Acquisition, I lead recruiting efforts for Rent the Runway - a high-growth startup that is disrupting the fashion industry and changing the way women shop.
I bring 9 years of experiences in business development, sales and marketing. Previously in my role as Director of Business Development, I focused on strategic partnership and sponsorships with like-minded brands. Rent the Runway has partnered with brands such as L'Oreal, Ford, American Express, Unilever, P&G, Wrigleys and more.
Prior to joining RTR, I ran Sales Development at DailyCandy, a digital platform owned by NBCUniversal. There my time focused on integrated marketing, sales strategy and business development working closely with clients across multiple categories - beauty, fashion/retail, finance, auto, travel, CPG etc. Before that, I worked at several digital media companies including video start ups Joost and Ripe Digital, and also spent some time at MySpace.
