Hi, I'm Holly Benavente Cocozza 👋 
Fractional CEO & Community Strategist

Igniting joy through connection. That's my jam. 🤗

At 8 years old I started my first community, gathering kids in the neighborhood to ride bikes and gain efficiencies by scheduling pickup flows on my dry-erase board. I learned that when we planned & got early approval from our parents, more kids joined, and we had more time to ride and explore together.  🚴‍♀️

In college, I eagerly began experimenting with experiential marketing & event design, partnering with local brands & creating fun, memorable experiences that added value to our sorority (GphiB🌙), and resulted in deals for my friends, sales for brands, and profit for our philanthropy fund. 

15+ years of experience later, I've mastered the art of gathering, connecting & community building, both online & offline. I've led award-winning nationwide programming and brand experiences for Microsoft, Proctor & Gamble, Nike, American Express, Gallo, & Jim Beam as a National Experiential Marketing Director for Ogilvy & Mather. 

Recently, as Head of Community @ Quilt, I grew and nurtured the community from 0 to over 100K+,  navigating 3 product pivots and wearing many hats across marketing, product, data & operations. 

Outside of work, you can find me throwing elaborate children's parties for my toddler, getting lost on hikes with my Maltipoo rescue pup, and experimenting in the kitchen with Italian / Mexican fusions. 🥳 🐶 🍝 

Enough about me, I'd love to learn more about you.
