Stacey Castor

My journey has included some unexpected turns and even a little intrigue (while working, I was trapped in Bolivia during a political uprising). I have been an actress, a psychology major, a litigator, a brand manager, an entrepreneur, and, for over a decade, a business consultant. I’ve held Director and Principal roles at Communispace, Nimbly Insights, and Upland, and collaborated with some of the sharpest minds in innovation, research and strategy at agencies like ?What If!, Kantar, IPSOS, and Human8.

A lifelong learner (and collector of student loans), I earned my undergraduate degree from UMass Amherst, my J.D. from Boston University School of Law, and my MBA from Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.

When I’m not exploring questions like how do people differentiate between  20+ types of sparkling water beverages, you’ll find me dining out in my home base of New York City, enjoying live music, hiking in the countryside with my dog, Hannah, or traveling the globe — 23 countries and counting.
