You're a busy lady! Tell us a bit about what your day-to-day at Gilt City involves.
"Gilt City is a mile-a-minute — it includes internal team meetings in D.C. or NYC for schedules, sales, and programming events like movie screenings and our upcoming Warehouse pop-up sale; or calling restaurateurs in the area to find out when their newest spot is slated to open. We are constantly charged with having a pulse on the city: trying new facials, drinking new cocktails, attending the latest spin class... I find the development and evolution of D.C. invigorating — it's a great time to be in Washington."
