Allie joined the board in 2022, eager to contribute to the community-driven mission of the GBC. Allie is a financial sales executive at Google, managing the American Express global portfolio, and is also a trained facilitator and active advocate for Google’s Diversity Equity & Inclusion IAR program. Prior to joining Google, she managed a sales team at a data tech firm after starting her sales career at Martha Stewart in Chicago. Allie graduated with honors from Miami University and is enrolled in the CME Executive program at Harvard Business School. Her professional experience extends into the nonprofit sector as well, having helped launch & manage the Make-A-Wish Chicago Classic Foundation. Allie lives in Greenwich with her husband and two sons (future GBC Little Rangers!). In addition to her love of flowers and horticulture, Allie loves traveling, reading, running, and spending time with her family exploring the beautiful Greenwich outdoors, the Pinetum especially! One of her favorite aspects of the GBC is the educational and enriching programming that her whole family enjoys- ranging from youth-oriented outdoor sensory classes to gardening, designing and even composting workshops!
