Truly humbled and so very grateful to be part of Ad Age's 2024 Leading Women list, packed with 39 boundary-pushing peers (two of whom, Mrinalini Nair and Eileen Kiernan, I started my career with at Health magazine—another, Kory Marchisotto, who I've been lucky to work with in various ways for decades). Congratulations to ALL of you!
Reading this writeup left me filled with gratitude...
⚪ For the leaders who support me and my teams everyday: Neil Vogel, Alex Ellerson, Tim Quinn—you're true allies and lifters of women across the organization and in life.
⚫ For my team of brilliant innovators, lead by Wendy Naugle, Charlotte Triggs, Kathryn Vandervalk, Patrick Gomez, Jo Bray, Sally Holmes, Hallie Gould, Alexandra Brez—your free thinking and commitment to raising the bar each day are the reason for so many of these accolades.
🔵 For some of the best partners in the business (Meredith Worsham, Tory Brangham, Andrew Gorenstein, Alysia Borsa, Melissa Guy, Stacy Nathan, Tory Brangham, Melanie Berliet, Jordan Kingston and so many more)—your daily feedback makes me smarter and your positive energy fills my cup.
🔴 For those who set the stage and taught me so much about content and collaboration (Joanna Coles, Donna Kalajian Lagani, Robin Domeniconi, Kate White, Colleen Sullivan, Aya Kanai, Holly Whidden, Joyce Chang...)
This writeup sheds light on the forward-thinking work we do at Dotdash Meredith. Our 40 brands' legacies may run deep but the humans behind them have a sixth sense to nimbly pivot and evolve them on the fly. The root of our success is our content—a storytelling prowess (the best in the business!) that satiates our fans and enables our partnerships to soar—as well as our commitment to take bold swings in this ever-changing world of advertising and media.
Lucky to be a part of it, especially at a moment when women are being recognized more and more for making the workplace smarter, healthier and more groundbreaking. Thank you Ad Age for seeing us.
