Jens Nicolaysen
Jens Nicolaysen is the co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Shinesty, the Boulder, Colorado apparel brand whose stated mission is to force the world to take itself less seriously. A 2010 marketing graduate of CU Boulder's Leeds School of Business, he spent his early career doing brand strategy and innovation consulting for large consumer companies before launching Shinesty in mid-2014 with fellow Leeds alum Chris White. The company began as a vintage-clothing resale operation with buyers scouring thrift shops in college and ski towns, pivoted to original designs in 2015, and grew into a direct-to-consumer underwear and loungewear business best known for its trademarked Ball Hammock pouch underwear, its holiday and theme-party outfits, and a joke-first marketing voice that Nicolaysen oversees across email, paid media, catalogues and video. Shinesty's story became a six-episode MTV2 series in 2017, the company was named an Inc. 5000 honoree in 2022, and it has raised roughly $8.2 million through a Series A.
Jade Watson
Jade Watson is the Chief Marketing Officer of Fit & Fresh Inc. (trading as Fit + Fresh), the Providence, Rhode Island company that helped invent the fashionable insulated lunch bag category more than two decades ago. She joined in April 2018 after a long run in global brand management at Hasbro, where she climbed from associate manager to Director of Global Brand Strategy and Marketing. At Fit + Fresh she oversees marketing, digital and consumer strategy for a catalogue of lunch totes, coolers, bento boxes, storage containers and reusable ice packs sold through Target, Walmart, Amazon and a Shopify Plus direct-to-consumer store, inside a business that is roughly 85% women and describes its purpose as helping women eat well without giving up style.
Jordan Hauser
Jordan Hauser is a New York-based retail marketing and merchandising executive who leads marketing and creative at Paul Fredrick, the Pennsylvania menswear company founded in 1986 that built its name on dress shirts sold with exact sleeve lengths and a fit guarantee. Listed publicly as Senior Vice President of Marketing & Creative (and as Chief Marketing Officer in some directory listings), he sits at the junction of two disciplines that rarely share an office: the merchandising side that decides what gets made, and the marketing side that decides how it gets told. His track record runs through department-store scale and startup scrappiness alike - director-level digital and merchandising roles across Macy's men's business and Market by Macy's, then VP of Merchandising & Marketing at Offe Market, the off-price marketplace for brand overstock. At Paul Fredrick he inherited a brand with roughly 88 employees, around $21 million in annual revenue, a Shopify Plus storefront, and forty years of accumulated customer trust in a category that has spent the last decade being told it was dying.
Katherine Brodie
Katherine Brodie is the Chief Marketing Officer of Frances Valentine, the New York fashion house co-founded by Elyce Arons with her best friend, the late Kate Spade, and Andy Spade. Brodie joined in January 2025 after roughly two decades spent building direct-to-consumer engines for design-led brands: eCommerce at Kate Spade, digital marketing at C. Wonder and Club Monaco, eCommerce at Reese Witherspoon's Draper James, and VP of Marketing & eCommerce at Rifle Paper Co., followed by a VP of Marketing post at CAKE. At Frances Valentine she runs a marketing operation that behaves less like a department and more like a production studio - video-first storytelling, creator-style content, and a community organized around color and joy. The strategic bet is contrarian by industry standards: while most fashion brands chase shoppers under 35, Brodie's team has built a viral social presence around women 50 and up, with Arons herself as the on-camera personality. The approach has coincided with rapid growth for the brand across e-commerce, its expanding retail fleet, and wholesale.
Alpha Industries, Inc.
Alpha Industries is an American outerwear company that started in 1959 as a U.S. Department of Defense contract manufacturer and turned its government-spec flight jackets into a global fashion label.

Now in its third generation of family ownership under CEO Michael Cirker, the company sells through wholesale accounts, department stores, licensed sports collections, its own e-commerce site and a small number of physical stores, and it uses a steady stream of designer and streetwear collaborations - Supreme, Vetements, BAPE, Lee, Cecilie Bahnsen among them - to keep a 1963 pattern relevant to buyers who were not born when it was drafted.

After a viral organic-content strategy and a December 2023 appearance on ABC's Shark Tank - where it took a $300,000 investment from SKIMS and Good American co-founder Emma Grede - the bootstrapped company scaled to roughly $95 million in net sales in the fiscal year ending June 2025.
