About

👋 Hi, I'm Olyvia — a highly collaborative brand leader with 9+ years of experience building and scaling marketing at early and late-stage startups. I thrive at the intersection of brand and performance, defining measurable outcomes and ensuring creative decisions are rooted in data. I currently lead core brand strategy, flagship campaigns, and brand measurement at Rippling. I'm a proud UVA alum (go Hoos!) with an affinity for all things pop culture. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a brand tap into the cultural zeitgeist and execute a perfectly "of-the-moment" campaign. ⭐
