About our team

While Adam has spent significant time in Boston, he is very proud of his home state Wisconsin.

Prior to joining Signal Vine, Adam worked at uAspire (one of Signal Vine’s very first customers) for nearly fourteen years, advising students, managing teams, and securing resources to help scale the organization to new geographies. In the Account Executive role, he is excited to leverage his passion for college access and success, with his experience in fundraising and partnership management.

His daughter Quinn keeps him very busy in his downtime, but when not chasing her around he loves to BBQ and sneak in watching his alma mater Marquette University play basketball.

Graduating from American University with a BA in Justice and Law, Alexis is passionate about helping others and being a voice for those in need.

Before joining the Signal Vine team, Alexis worked with the City of Clearwater, Florida to increase voter turnout and community involvement. Last summer she raised over $7,000 for the Florida Rights and Restoration Coalition, which helps returning citizens break down any financial barriers that are keeping them from being able to vote.

She loves sushi, her two kittens, and Beyonce. She could also recite any scene from 13 Going on 30.

Andrea was raised in southern West Virginia and earned a BS in Psychology from Virginia Tech and a Master’s in Counseling from Radford University. Prior to joining the Signal Vine team, Andrea spent the majority of her professional career in Higher Education Administration, holding roles in student recruitment, academic advising, and teaching at Virginia Tech and most recently American University. She is passionate about equitable access to education and is excited to make a positive impact for students!

In her spare time, Andrea loves to be a local tourist; exploring monuments, museums, exhibitions, shows, and everything that DC has to offer! Andrea is also an avid sports fan – you can find her cheering on all the local DC teams and, of course, the Virginia Tech Hokies!

As Senior Director of Customer Success, her job is two-fold: providing operations and support to a quickly-growing company, and being the primary point of contact for launching customers on the platform.

Prior to Signal Vine, Arianna worked at Alden & Ott in office management and customer service. Arianna graduated with a BA in History from James Madison University, and spent a summer studying abroad in Florence, Italy. She’s proud to reveal that she can finally do a pushup.

Ashley is a proud Penn State alum (WE ARE!) where she earned her BS in Marketing and participated in the largest student run philanthropy in the world, THON.

Prior to Signal Vine, Ashley studied abroad in Barcelona for a semester, and has traveled to over 11 countries including Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

She is most passionate about helping others, and loves art, animals, her two golden retrievers, and music.

Barry is from Lake Stevens, Washington and graduated with his BA in Spanish from Brigham Young University. He is passionate about education technology and has over six years of experience selling software solutions to higher education and K12 institutions.

Outside of work Barry loves spending time with his wife and two kids and also enjoys playing frisbee golf any chance he can get.

Brendan is experienced with Java and various web development languages and tools including HTML, CSS, PHP, Linux, OS X, MySQL, Apache, JavaScript, and Drupal.

Brian is an entrepreneur with a BS in Marketing from Indiana’s Kelley School of Business and an Executive MBA from Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business. He has deep experience in technology, philanthropy, and high-growth companies. Prior to starting Signal Vine, Brian was the Chief Operating Officer at Arabella Advisors, a philanthropy services firm which grew 1000% during his five years. But most of his career has been spent building technology companies from an early stage.

In addition to Brian’s entrepreneurial ventures, he has helped grow several early-stage businesses, most notably InphoMatch/Mobile 365 where he established key contracts which became 75% of its revenue. The business was eventually sold to Sybase in 2006 for $430 million.

Charles has successfully led numerous products to strong growth by teaching his teams to read the market, developing a strong sense of customer empathy and experimenting with a variety of tailored approaches to delivery.

Prior to joining Signal Vine, Charles led product efforts for a marketing automation platform at Drip, a fundraising and advocacy platform at Salsa Labs and a media publishing and ad platform at Broadcast Interactive. He studied at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and, while there, founded and led a nonprofit focused on vintage jazz and swing era dance preservation, instruction and events. He continues to run educational events for the things he’s passionate about. In his free time likes to build things, break things, repair things and play hockey.

Chris grew up in southern Virginia in the small town of Danville. He graduated from New York University in 2016 with a BA in Linguistics and French and a minor in American Sign Language. Prior to joining Signal Vine he worked in technical support for residential systems at Lutron, a lighting controls company, out of their Las Vegas office. Now that he has joined the Customer Success team at Signal Vine, he is excited about coming back home to Virginia.

Outside of work, Chris enjoys spending time with his cat Winnie, knitting and crocheting, board games, and brushing up on his chess skills.

Christine received her Bachelor and Master’s degree in Labor and Employment Relations from Rutgers University. Since graduating, she has solely worked for tech companies but always had a passion for higher education; joining the Signal Vine team has allowed her to work in both fields. She is excited to learn as much as she can in her new role.

In her downtime, Christine likes traveling to Asia as often as she can, working out, and doing any kind of spontaneous activity. Being new to the D.C. area, she is eager to spend as many weekends museum-hopping as possible.

Prior to Signal Vine, Cole worked for POLITICO Pro, where her love of a solution-oriented approach led her to Signal Vine.

Outside of the office, Cole enjoys spending time outdoors (especially in water!), all things True Crime, and spending time with family.
