Background

About Ann Cornelius

I’m deeply passionate about people, products, communication, and the culture that brings it all together. Throughout my career, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with amazing companies like REI, Nordstrom, Amazon, and Brooks Running. These experiences have shaped me in ways I never could have imagined, helping me learn how to tell powerful stories, build genuine connections, and create real engagement through strategic partnerships and innovative campaigns. There’s nothing more rewarding than crafting experiences that not only drive sales but also create lasting relationships with customers and loyalty to the brand. What really excites me, though, is the chance to dive into product marketing. I love blending creativity and strategy to develop messages that truly resonate with people, no matter who they are or where they’re from. My background across apparel, event planning, and entertainment has given me such a unique perspective on communication and customer needs, and I’ve gotten really good at turning those insights into messages that cut through the noise. Whether I’m collaborating across teams, fine-tuning processes, or thriving in fast-paced environments, I’m driven by the opportunity to solve problems, push the envelope with bold marketing strategies, and help my team succeed.
