Carmie Stornello

When Carmie joined Brandtrust, 10 years ago, it was a company with a handful of people and a bucket full of dreams. Exactly the kind of environment where she thrives. Today Brandtrust is a multimillion dollar strategic research firm that is a who's who of Fortune 500 companies such as Harley Davidson, Intel, Nestle, Eli Lilly, Coke, Jaguar Land Rover and now boasts a talent pool of strategists, psychologists, sociologists and margins that are an envy of the industry.

As the driving force behind attracting and retaining an incredible group of passionate, thoughtful people, Carmie's leadership among the partnership team is arguably one of the most important factors to Brandtrust's rapid growth.

People who work with Carmie, praise her ability to remain calm under pressure and make even the most complex projects seem easy. In service organizations it's all about the people and clients frequently ask how Brandtrust creates such an amazing team. The secret is Carmie. It's because of her skills and abilities that Brandtrust has such exceptionally gifted talent which is the heart of Brandtrust's success.

Prior to Brandtrust, Carmie served in a leadership role at iXL/Razorfish and Two Way Communications after successfully building the in-house Creative Services Group at Abbot Laboratories.

Outside of work, Carmie is a runner, cyclist and mother of two — a budding equestrian and an ardent zombie slayer.
