When Emily was asked why she brought Mollie on the team she shared, “There are few people that you can find that can pick up your idea and run with it to the exact execution you would have done yourself. Or even better! I am so incredibly grateful to have Mollie’s years of experience building a global brand to support us as we expand across the globe.” 

Personal Note from Mollie:

I am a native Kentuckian and currently live and work in Louisville, KY with my partner, Nic and our young daughter. We love to spend as much time as possible outside, and you can often find us in the trees hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, camping – or you name it! 

Having known Emily for many years both professionally and personally, I was thrilled and flattered when she asked me to join the team as Creative Director. I am passionate about directing and overseeing the development of creative concepts for a brand, and I look forward to using my skills and experience to lead that initiative here at EI & Company. Emily is a collaborative and effective leader, with a work ethic and conviction unmatched by most.

I’m honored to be part of her team and look forward to all that is ahead.
