ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re comprised of the fabulous Lauryn Haas, Nora Biette-Timmons, and Alanis King (and me!). And we source all kinds of stories. We love getting inside the heads of professionals and leaders — how they got their jobs, what their jobs are like day to day, how they think about managing, their industry, and the world around us.

Our inboxes are almost always a mess, but we promise to respond to pitches we’re really excited about within a few days and try to read everything that comes our way. Best way to grab our attention is a clear headline and “Why should I care about this story/this story now?”
