TRISH MARTIN

Vice President of Communications and Outreach

Trish was raised in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and headed to The University of Maryland for college. She put her chemical engineering degree to work as a sales representative for an industrial chemical company in the NY metro area. After a few years, she headed back south to the University of North Carolina where she earned her MBA.

During business school, Trish developed a love for branding and consumer marketing. She has been the marketing VP for brands such as Goody, Russell Athletic, Moving Comfort, and No nonsense, not to mention Hanes, Champion, and L’eggs. Through her work with these brands, Trish developed extensive skills in consumer research, marketing strategy, and global brand management.

Trish successfully layers communications between our customers and their consumers. With her consumer marketing background, she takes the lead on branding, content generation, and communications but gets looped into any project involving market research and media relations as well.

Trish lives in Greensboro with her husband and two cats and is the proud mom of two grown children. In her spare time, she is an avid volunteer with USA Swimming and a bleeding-heart animal lover.
