Vyara Ndejuru, director of marketing

What does your typical work day look like?
"My day-to-day consists of a two-pronged role of building strategy and operations. It's really about making sure that the stores and our teams have the right equipment, have everything that they need to roll out a promotion, to roll out an in-store animation. What do you say to customers when they come in? How do we excite our own store teams? My goal in life is to have our teams know what we're up to, what we're doing, how it involves them, how they can participate, and to share my enthusiasm for the brand."

What's your favorite thing about this work environment?
"There's spaces where people can congregate. Right in the middle of our beautiful atrium, there's the olive tree. So, around the olive tree, there are all these spots where you can sit down and hang out if you want to read a book, read a magazine, chill out, or listen to some music."

How would you describe your personal style?
"My approach to personal style is to try and fail often. I think if you don't have an embarrassing fashion moment, you don't love fashion."

What is currently your favorite Aldo product?
"Okay, I'm obsessed with this shoe. The Aldo and Flare collab with Liz Cabral (seen here). I really love it because it is a very, very bold combination of not only color, but texture. Pony hair and patent, not something you see a lot. A blocked heel is not something we do really well with, but it's sold out."
