Meet Peggy

With more than 25 years of experience in marketing research and serving as a consultant since 1996, I consider myself a seasoned professional in the specialty of consumer research and discovery. I’ve served as Director of Consumer Research at Ralston Purina and Ralcorp Holdings, and Project Director at ConAgra Foods® and Maritz®.

In my years of digging, I’ve learned the intricacies of designing sophisticated marketing and strategic projects. I’ve come to understand marketing people and agencies, as well as what they face in everyday decision-making.

As for my personal life, I’m a St. Louis native that graduated from St. Joseph’s Academy and St. Louis University. A parent of two student-athletes, my husband and I can often be found in the lacrosse or volleyball bleachers. I once competed myself (gymnastics) so I truly enjoy watching my kids.
