Monica Pollinger

As Vice President of Marketing and Education, Monica acts as the strategic architect behind the company’s marketing vision, educational initiatives, and community engagement. Aligning strategy with overarching business goals, she leads a high-performing, multi-functional team across product marketing, sales enablement, content creation, channel strategy, events, and partnerships. Leveraging a data-driven approach, Monica bridges marketing efforts with sales, product, and customer success to enhance brand awareness, achieve market growth, and build lasting audience relationships.

Monica’s approach to marketing and education is deeply rooted in her background as a scientist and researcher. She holds a PhD and M.S. in Environmental Conservation from the University of Massachusetts—where her research focused on insect biology and forest conservation—as well as a dual bachelor’s degree in Biology and Studio Art from Colby College. She thrives at the intersection of data, art, and communication, dedicated to making complex science and research accessible to all. Outside of work, Monica lives in Portland, ME, and loves getting outside with her husband and two daughters, whether spending the day at the beach or going up north to ski in the mountains. 

My leadership style is be agile, be human and lead by example. I bring this mindset to the work I do and to the teams I grow. My best advice is: be yourself. I want to get to know who you are just as much as I want to hear about how you work.
