Stefanie

After building analytics and insights divisions for multiple agencies, Stefanie is thrilled to be focusing on marrying sound research principles with modern technology (she’s the Founder of Hootology, an agency modernizing the world of market research and insights).

Recognized as one of the Phoenix Business Journal’s ‘Forty Under 40’, a member of Valley leadership and an award-winning speaker, Stefanie is most proud of her ability to ask “how could we do it better?”

In her spare time, Stefanie loves wandering through Central Park, finding inspiration in the oddballs of life, meditating and throwing pottery to stay connected with her art school days.
