Nefertari Council

My success comes from creativity, strategic thinking, and the ability to simplify complex ideas. Through CBA Media Group™ and ZLIBS™, I’ve learned that consistent communication, innovation, and disciplined execution are the keys to building trust and driving impact. As a board member of Council Holdings & Trust LLC, I help to shape the company’s identity, messaging, and market positioning across its technology and innovation portfolio. I am also Chairwoman of The Council & Lorick Foundation, guiding its mission-driven programs, community impact initiatives, and public communications. My work bridges enterprise strategy with purpose-driven leadership, ensuring both organizations operate with clarity, credibility, and long-term vision.

The best career advice I’ve ever received comes from the incredible influencers who have shaped my journey. Paula Scher, a renowned designer at Pentagram who created the Citi Bank logo and their brand identity, inspired me with her ability to blend creativity and strategy, and her story lit a fire under me to pursue excellence. Oprah's achievements and impact have been a constant source of inspiration, as have the journalists who have shaped the industry. Each of these voices has reminded me to embrace creativity, persistence, and authenticity in everything I do. Additionally, consistent communication, innovation, and disciplined execution are the keys to building trust and driving impact.

I would advise young women entering my industry to build their skills boldly and never wait for permission to start. Women who excel put themselves in environments where ideas flow, protect their concepts, surround themselves with people who support their vision, and embrace originality in everything they do. Confidence will set you apart in this industry.

The rise of AI, digital identity concerns, and fast-moving content trends are reshaping communications. ZLIBS™ is positioned to solve emerging identity challenges, while CBA Media Group™ helps brands stay human and relevant in a digital-first landscape. Those who adapt quickly will lead.

The values most important to me in both my work and personal life are rooted in creativity, discipline, and a sense of stewardship. Gardening, for example, has instilled in me responsibility and patience, teaching me the importance of timing and cultivation, principles I apply not only in my personal pursuits but also in my professional growth. I also cherish the time spent painting with my daughters, which allows me to express myself creatively while nurturing their own artistic development. Additionally, producing music is one of my greatest passions, providing balance and inspiration that enrich all aspects of my life.
