Meet Our Team

Jennifer Appleby Vines, Chief Executive Officer

WHAT DO YOU DO HERE?
My days at Georgette are filled with checking off ALL the to-do lists, guiding our team to check off their to-do lists, and making more to-do lists for the future of Georgette. Keeping the business in motion and moving forward, at a comfy pace, is where I feel most at home. In my spare office hours, I enjoy long walks with team mates around DTK and stirring up friendly banter at the lunch table. Oh, and office snacks. Definitely here for those - but they better be chocolate.
