Lisa Fey

Being a woman in sports television in the 80s was rare - and as a college student I didn't see any barriers to getting a job - so I just called and asked. Well, it wasn't simply that easy - but also not that hard. I have a love for storytelling and humor. What I learned was to go after what you want - and I believe I can share that passion and give people permission and and enable that first step in going after their dream. Desire and perseverance; supported by a willingness to work hard and learn. My first promotion at The Coca-Cola Company brought me to Dallas, and it was only the beginning. As the result of that first phone call, I just retired from The Coca-Cola Company after 30 years.

Michelle Adams

Michelle Adams is founder of Marketing Brainology, a consulting practice focused on translating consumer and shopper insights to marketing and corporate America. She speaks globally on in-store decision-making, merchandising best practices, and shopper marketing. She helps unlock the mystery of human emotion & how it impacts brands & retailers.
