The Directors of Freshness
Katie Mericle
Director of Finance and Administration
As Director of Finance and Administration, Katie manages long-term company goals, prepares contracts and stacks dollar bills into intricate but functional works of modern art. She has a talent for managing on both a micro and macro level simultaneously, giving her the ability to construct accurate long-term financial forecasts while at the same time making sure Ai continues to have an office where employees love coming to work each day.
Katie joined an office of fifteen at Alexander Interactive in 2006 as a Bookkeeper/Office Manager. At the time Ai had no Administration department, so Katie built one from scratch. She notes finding the talented people she now gets to work with each day as her proudest achievement.
Katie holds a Bachelor’s degree from Fordham University and a grudge against the ’04 Red Sox. She inherited her ""I'll handle it"" attitude from her parents who taught her by example that no task is beneath a good manager.
Katie calls New Jersey home and is constantly bragging about the promptness and cleanliness of the PATH train. A morning person if ever there was one, Katie likes few things more than her sunrise view of the city from across the Hudson, but among them are her dogs, Charlie and Spencer, and cat, Bernie.
