Other Work History

Prior to starting her own consultancy, Teresa was the Global PR Director for the Indian music streaming service, Saavn.

Her press strategy garnered dozens of press hits across the world, and Saavn’s $100 million Series C was a trending topic on Twitter hours after the news was announced. Before Saavn, Teresa was the first New York City hire for global tech PR agency, VSCpr, where she helped to establish the agency’s NYC office. As a Media Relations & Features Specialist, she helped to grow the agency’s presence in the New York startup world through events and tenacious media relations efforts.
