Stacy Hallett / Director of Community and Partnerships
With over 15 years of sales, marketing and management experience, most recently in the “mom space”, jumping on board with Red Tricycle was a natural move for Stacy. An East Bay, CA native, you can generally find her on the weekends watching her 2 kids at any of several sporting events or walking her 3 labrador retrievers around the neighborhood. Stacy’s strengths in creative partnerships and strategic relationships will be key to our wheels riding into new markets while continuing to grow our current presence.

Quynn Nguyen, Web & Newsletter Producer / Ad Ops
Raised on the sunny island of Oahu in Hawaii, some would say Quynn lost her mind when she packed her bags and left the perfect weather and sandy beaches for the rain of Seattle to get her BA from the University of Washington. She would agree. Quynn has since found her middle ground in California, and joins the Red Tricycle team with a diverse set of skills and over six years of experience in web merchandising, product strategy & sales, business development and account management from both e-com as well as bricks & mortar environments.

With her strong ninja-like work ethic, Tina knew Red Tricycle would be a great place to strive. Tina happily joined the Red Tricycle Team in November 2011.
