Robyn is the Founder and CEO of Girls On It, a platform focused on promotion, inspiration, and education for girls and women. Robyn’s mission is to bring the global community of girls and women together by highlighting and acknowledging the individuals, organizations, and companies that support them.

Robyn began her career at the age of 19 as a freelance makeup artist. For a decade she worked with such companies as M.A.C., Aveda, Smashbox, and Stila traveling the U.S. and Canada working behind the scenes of music videos, commercials, fashion shows, and photo shoots. Determined to evolve in the industry, from 2002 to 2006 she was hired as Sales and Business Development manager for Molton Brown USA, Inc. and Dr. Jessica Wu Cosmeceuticals (DrJWC). Within the first year of business for DrJWC, Robyn generated over a quarter million dollars of new business and landed Victoria’s Secret Direct as the largest direct-to-consumer distributor for the brand.

In 2006, she was ready for a change and began working with Converdge Corp. (now Cloud Nine), one of the leading social community platform developers, as their Managing Director. She not only helped to run the company, but assisted in landing some of their top clients, such as Mashable, Media Post, and Disney/ABC.

From 2008 to 2010, Robyn was involved with the Girls in Tech (GIT) organization as their Executive Managing Director, overseeing the Los Angeles chapter. She helped generate National attention for GIT with participation at the Web 2.0 Conference and Twiistup in 2009, as well as producing some of the most high-profile tech events in Los Angeles. During this same time, Robyn worked with Total Beauty Media, Inc., as a consultant focusing on their blog community and social media initiatives. She also consulted with Megsmakeup.com working on their sales, marketing, and business development initiatives.

Currently, Robyn is a Contributing Blogger for the Huffington Post. She holds a B.A. from Concordia University in Montreal. Twitter: @girlonit, @missro, email: [email protected].
