We Are The Cools: Meet Mara!

Mara Meinhofer, Operations and Finance Manager

What can’t you live without?
My BlackBerry, MacBook, Kindle and Bose headphones.

What are your favorite go-to blogs?
Business of Fashion (BoF). The founder Imran Amed, is a genius. BoF fills the void for analytical, informed, opinionated fashion. I say: ‘Bring It On!’

What’s currently on repeat on your playlist?
Experimental dance, electronica, Adele, Rock en Español, and very loud music that’s best to listen to while driving.

What’s your favorite thing about working at The Cools?
The team! They’re all SO COOL, it makes finance FUN.

Where do you look for inspiration?
People’s experiences. I enjoy forgetting the world as I know it, putting myself in other people’s shoes and getting inspired by their stories.

In 10 years, I see myself… enjoying the successes of The Cools, advising/consulting new entrepreneurs, continue to work with fellow creatives to alleviate poverty (Creatives Against Poverty) and nurturing my loving family; husband and kids included. There you go, I said it––a husband and kids!
