Christine Anderson
VP, Growth and Strategy
Christine is the VP of Growth and Strategy for Hearst's Enthusiast Group (BestProducts.com, Popular Mechanics, Runner's World, Bicycling, Biography, and Oprah Daily), where she spends her days digging through data for trends and analyzing user behavior (but also there is lot of shopping); she’s a certified yoga instructor, avid half-marathoner, mom of two, reformed vegan, dog lover, future sommelier, and hiker/camper/skier extraordinaire. She studied both Journalism and Apparel Design at Colorado State University, got her start in media as an intern at Harper's BAZAAR, and thinks we’ll all be living in “Amazon Prime Villages” shortly — and is totally OK with that.
