Joy Farber Kolo

I started twenty-five years ago for a company that
was eventually acquired by what would become Weber
Shandwick. I was the on-site PR manager for the New
Jersey Division of Travel and Tourism. Really, New
Jersey Tourism. There’s a lot to do and see!

The reason I am here.

People from diverse backgrounds collaborating to
create something great. Team members who had a
rocky first chapter finding their groove and go
on to soar. Colleagues supporting each other –
in big and small ways – through hard times.
Honestly, it’s a great place and I’m reminded
of that often.

Be a novelist or a screenwriter.

Lead through the work. It’s one of the many things
I learned from our former CEO, Gail.

My kids. At 16, my daughter is a force with fierce
determination, unwavering conviction and vast
interests. At 11, my son is already learning to
go deep, get lost and find joys in his passions.

Just spending time with family … which usually
involves watching my kids play sports.

GPS. I have zero sense of direction. Zero. The
prevalence of the GPS has changed my life.
