Denise is a bold adventurer in both life and business. A passionate outdoorswoman with an energetic personality, she thrives when connecting: whether kayaking the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon and connecting with power of the Canyon, backpacking in Alaska and connecting with the wildness of the place, networking at business events and connecting with inspired business owners, volunteering for Northern California Weimaraner Rescue, El Dorado Women's Fund and as a board member for Sierra Wildlife Rescue and connecting with the passion people bring, or exploring with clients and connecting about their values and goals for their business.

ROSEMARY ROBERTS
DIRECTOR OF MARKETING & CLIENT SERVICES
MARKETING MAVEN

For over a decade, Rosemary has brought her unique sense of consumer engagement to the B2B and B2C world though print, web, radio and television. Her experience as a writer, creative content developer and marketing professional affords our clients a project management advocate who understands the trenches and knows how to navigate the details necessary to reach ‘the promised land’. Her outgoing nature and style is professional with just enough sass to keep things fun and interesting.

An animal advocate at heart, her world in the foothills includes four dogs, two cats, 10 ducks, free-range hens and the ‘ruler of the land’, Mr. Banks (her rooster).

She studied Graphic Design at George Brown College and received her degree in 2011.

Away from work, Irene loves: dog training, decorating, painting, doing furniture makeovers and "singing" karaoke with a thick Russian accent. She also volunteers at a local theater and donates to Sick Kids & Sunnybrook hospitals.
