Meet Our Team

The Importance of team vibes cannot be overstated

The absolute best thing about Belle? Our people. 

For more than a decade, Belle Communication has existed to empower meaningful work and thriving relationships. Our culture is cultivated by the contribution of each team member’s thoughts, words and actions. We believe the culture we reap is a result of the daily seeds of intention we sow, and we hold each other accountable in our communication, teamwork, candor and vulnerability.

PAULA COHOON

Head of Human Resources

Having worked in HR for more than 25 years, Paula is committed to maintaining a people-first culture. Her experienced and thoughtful approach helps to empower every Belle to thrive, as she continually improves our approach to culture, career paths, DE&I, recruiting and team connectedness. Paula keeps herself grounded by working out, spending time with her family and playing with her dogs (her youngest pup is even named Belle - how serendipitous!)

Belle 2022 ??

HEATHER ALLEN

Head of Operations

Heather represents many Belle firsts. Our first employee, first toe-dip in the work-from-anywhere model and even our first “Belle baby” (hi, Keira!) She embodies each of our Core Belle-iefs and helped create them. She’s a critical thinker who loves spreadsheets and food, which both keeps us laser-focused on goals and ensures we try the best restaurants on team trips.

MARY STANKIEWICZ

Head of Accounts

A thirteen-time half-marathoner, Mary goes the distance to make magic happen for our clients. In her role, Mary champions The Belle Way of client service, professional development and leadership initiatives to ensure winning campaigns. Her tenacity, smarts and ability to build lasting relationships elevates our team through mentorship. She shows up daily with a passion and fierceness that would make Beyoncé proud.

Megumi Robinson

MEGUMI ROBINSON

Head of Services

Megumi leads our services team to ensure all campaigns are creative, relevant and authentic. Her vast network of media and influencer relationships, together with her crisis experience and roots in Columbus, tourism and F&B, empowers her with an insightful, big picture view of communication across new and traditional media. As a self-proclaimed “eater, not foodie,” Megumi and her husband have a restaurant recommendation for every cuisine and city.

Abby Hughes

ABBY HUGHES

Head of Growth + Strategy

Abby brings strategic clarity, unwavering calm and a love for pop culture and 2000s nostalgia. She’s helped shape Belle’s strategic approach and scale our most impactful work.
