Marketing, Mindfulness & Mentorship: Meet Schoolhaus Principal Christine Voliva

When I was a kid, I wanted to host my own cooking show. Maybe my son will become a chef and help me fulfill that dream. In the meantime, I spend my days helping name and shape forward-thinking brands— to give them an edge and accelerate their growth. I’m a skilled marketing leader, communicator and teacher who also happens to be a natural mentor and empath.

I’m just as comfortable in the boardroom as I am “in the field” or on a Zoom call. Regardless, you can count on me to ask the most questions; I have a reputation for being curious and craving clarification. And don’t tell anyone but I’d probably edit and proofread for free.

As an entrepreneur, I’m driven by a desire to build authentic connections and work hard to do more with less. My goal: collaborate to create the most impactful work possible. I’ve worked with startups, nonprofits, agencies and clients— large tech companies like Microsoft and SAP, hospitals and healthcare organizations, retailers, and product creators from all over the country— to build brands, increase product awareness and invest in a meaningful customer experience.

Outside of work, my son keeps me young, yoga keeps me grounded, reading takes me on adventures and helps me stay open minded, and running and cycling get me in the headspace to work through challenges and come up with new ideas. Most people don’t know this but I’m also writing several children’s picture books.

If you’ve read this far and we have something in common, there’s a topic you’d like to chat with me about or something Schoolhaus may be able to help with, let’s connect!
