CEO & Founder of Two Bright Lights

Siri has split her career between the United States and Europe. Her marketing career in luxury goods began at LVMH, where she marketed global powerhouse brands such as Moët & Chandon Champagne and Grand Marnier Liqueur. Siri's marketing experience includes launching new products and developing innovative promotional programs. She blinged out an entire London Taxi with Swarovski crystals which generated PR throughout Europe for Moët. She was the idea girl behind Grand Marnier's US tour where Mini Coopers were outfitted as grand margaritas (on the rocks with salt).

She has over 6 years of consulting experience at McKinsey and Company, where her love affair with Excel and intense analytics began. Siri graduated Phi Beta Kappa in Economics at Northwestern University, while being a full scholarship athlete in tennis and Big Ten Sportswoman of the Year. She also holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management. She refers to the Presidio as her creative laboratory and considers her retro aqua cake carrier her best accessory.

She feels quite lucky to share a name with an Apple product.  It’s the perfect icebreaker.
