Goldman: 

  • She was the CEO of Spanx from 2002 until February of this year. Goldman grew the small Atlanta-based hosiery and undergarment company into a multimillion-dollar business.
  • Before Spanx, Goldman transformed the trademark protection program at Coca-Cola into a billion dollar lifestyle brand by licensing in categories from clothing to collectibles (including the Coca-Cola Polar Bear).
  • Her comment on the new board position: “The name of the game is to get true ROI on marketing dollars spent on social media. This has previously been a struggle for companies, but now Insightpool is helping some of the most innovative companies generate this value in a simple, effective way that scales quickly. The writing is on the wall for Insightpool’s success.”

Insightpool:
