Branding & Marketing Guru joins Alerje as new Chief Marketing Officer
We’re delighted to announce our new Chief Marketing Officer, Christa Chambers-Price! While we knew and respected each other from afar, I first had the pleasure of engaging with her during Alerje’s time in the Backstage Detroit Accelerator. I was blown away by Christa’s ability to extract the inner storytelling genius out of our cohort in only one session! After that sample, I knew that I had to find a way to work with her.
Christa’s experience and energy have been the perfect combination for our team since hitting the ground running. Trusted by world renowned brands like the American Heart Association (AHA) and Goldman Sachs 10K Small Businesses just to name a few. We’re grateful to have Christa’s imprint on Alerje’s growing brand moving forward!
From Christa:
“During a time of transition, unrest, and challenge, this is a glorious time for a particular type of innovator: curious, imaginative people who are determined to solve big problems. Alerje, led by the inflatable Javier Evelyn, is that team. Alerje seeks to solve a big problem that affects over 220 million food allergy sufferers worldwide. It’s a big vision and one that will make an enormous, positive impact on so many lives. My grandfather used to say, ’if you see a good fight, get in!’. It’s an honor to join the Alerje team on this daring, exciting journey to help change and improve the lives of people who deserve it.”
