Jennifer Appleby Vines
Chief Executive Officer

WHAT DO YOU DO HERE?

My days at Georgette are filled with checking off ALL the to-do lists, guiding our team to check off their to-do lists, and making more to-do lists for the future of Georgette. I enjoy long walks with team mates around DTK and friendly banter at the lunch table. Oh, and office snacks...But they better be chocolate.

Olivia Lovell
Business Development Representative

WHAT DO YOU DO HERE?

As a Business Development Representative at Georgette Packaging, I’m the friendly first point of contact for brands looking to level up their packaging game (sustainably, of course). I spark conversations with cool companies and help connect them with an Account Executive to get them beautifully designed, eco-friendly packaging solutions.

Think of me as part matchmaker, part hype person—making sure every box, bag, or cup tells a story (and looks damn good doing it).

Cans of Diet Coke, cardboard boxes from online shopping and skincare empties.

I'd love to try a pottery class and also want to try canning my own pickles!

IF YOU COULD INSTANTLY BECOME AN EXPERT IN SOMETHING,

WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Something that would allow me to be creative and make gifts for others - like crocheting!

A reliable backpack, an extra flashlight in case anyone forgot theirs, walkie-talks for communication, and snacks of course!

Georgette's Manifesto

Show up, always. Know your numbers. Be excited, be exciting. Help those around you shine. Put the oxygen mask on yourself first. Turn off the lights when you leave the room. Don't apologize for being opinionated. Drive with the windows down. Be curious, not judgemental. Pay your taxes. Read, voraciously. Communicate. Leap at every opportunity. Never shrink yourself for the convenience of others. Be vulnerable and welcome vulnerability in others. Leave your mark. Keep your promises to yourself. Always be striving for something. Travel often. Be brave, have grace. Illegitimi non carborundum. Collaborate - there's strength in numbers. Persevere. If you want to eat the cake, eat the cake.
