Co-Founder & CEO
Christine Rafanelli brings two decades of marketing, strategy and leadership experience in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors to her role at BuyQ. After spending the first portion of her career as a broadcast journalist at ABC News in New York, Christine put her passion for storytelling to work for various non-profit organizations, developing global thought leadership events for clients including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, and later serving as the communications director for the Colorado Children’s Campaign, Colorado’s leading children’s advocacy organization. Christine was bitten by the start-up bug while leading public relations efforts for an early-stage, VC-backed hospitality company in Denver, growing with the company from under 100 to 300 employees.
