Prior to joining Genuine, Poirier was with Isobar leading teams to design and develop brand experiences and digital campaigns for clients such as Harman Electronics, adidas and The LEGO Group. In this role, she was instrumental in establishing agency of record (AOR) relationships and the account capability for the agency. Prior to Isobar, Poirier was a VP, Group Director at Digitas (now DigitasLBi) leading large scale cross functional teams for clients including Sirius XM, Sara Lee, AARP Financial, AARP, MetLife and General Motors. She started her career at Pile and Company, further honing her account management skills at BrannBlau and FusionDM. Poirier's work has been recognized by several major industry awards including WebAwards, W3s, Hatch and an OMMA. 

"As brands continue the quest to stay current and relevant with customers, I believe that Genuine has the right formula to help brands navigate these new waters and find the best approaches -- however, whenever and wherever that may be," said Poirier. "Genuine combines a strong digital foundation with an empathetic, human-centric approach and inventive spirit to deliver meaningful customer experiences, and I'm looking forward to contributing to the team."
