May Member Meeting: Inventing Loca, a Shark Tank Journey

Business, the arts & charity are the driving forces behind all of Renee’s endeavors, as she continuously explores new ways to create the best products and experiences on the planet.

During her Journalism & Media undergraduate studies at Rutgers University, she was a DJ at WRSU 88.7FM, interned at MTV News & KWOD 106.5FM, and wrote music reviews for The Daily Targum. She has a master’s in international journalism from Leeds University and a mini-MBA in social media marketing.

Renee has a unique work background which couples marketing and Design Thinking, to reach people in the most authentic ways possible. She first thrived at digital agencies in the UK, and after winning multiple industry awards, she moved back across the pond. Renee then flourished as a digital director at CPG Food & Beverage companies, such as Applegate and B&G Foods, before joining Accenture.

Needing a creative outlet and wanting to flex her entrepreneurial muscles, Renee founded Made of Lionesses, an experiential boutique that designs and builds set for bands and brands. Renee’s educational, professional and personal work has allowed her to lay the foundation necessary to create dynamic experiences and innovative kitchen gadgets like Banana Loca!
