MEET YOUR GROWTH PARTNER
Hi, I’m Emily — Brand Marketer, Community Builder, Surfer.
I founded Next Wave to unlock the next phase of growth for my clients after spending a decade inside fast-growing consumer startups like Rent The Runway, The Wing, and Tia. An organic marketing and community building expert at heart, I’m dedicated to helping startups fuel efficient, sustainable growth. If you’re up for a discovery chat, a surf lesson, or both, I’d love to connect.
