Lolita Carrico, Founder & CEO

Long before the word “mompreneur” entered our lexicon, Lolita Carrico was already blazing trails as a true mommy media pioneer as founder of Modern Mom Inc., one of the first major online presences for mothers. With the success of both Modern Mom and the GLOSS Network for Women, her latest venture, Lolita has established herself as one of the industry’s top marketers and influencers.

An expert on just about any issue faced by today’s busy women, Lolita has been featured on hundreds of television and radio programs and in a variety of newspapers and magazines discussing topics such as parenting, hot products, career and balance.

Considered one of the top marketers and voices for moms in the industry, Lolita serves as a spokesperson and consultant for many companies including Procter & Gamble’s Charmin and Swiffer brands, Baskin-Robbins, Got Milk, Fresh & Easy Markets and others. She is a member of Nielsen’s Power Mom Advisory Council, pens a regular column for Marketing Daily’s Engage: Moms series and is a featured blogger for LA Moms Blog.

A single mom, Lolita lives in Los Angeles with her sons – Jaden, 10 and Jack, 7.

Aly Walanksy, Managing Editor

Writer and editor Aly Walansky is quickly developing a name for herself as a major source in the ever-evolving blogosphere. She is a style columnist for SheKnows.com as well as a contributor to publications ranging from iVillage to Splendicity. Her work involves coverage of topics ranging from the latest innovative beauty procedures to achieving the perfect cocktail. While she is well-known for her beauty and style writing — New Beauty Magazine rated her one of the top four beauty bloggers on the web in their Winter 2010 issue, she’s rather diversified in the blogosphere — she’s been hired to live-blog from locations ranging from the Miss America pageant to the Academy Awards.

In her more than five years in the women’s online space, Johanna has cultivated relationships with Fortune 500 companies and leading advertising agencies.

Jennifer Latkiewicz, geekGLOSS Associate Editor

At 12 years old, Jennifer Latkiewicz was already sharing her geeky insight on her “cybergirl” GeoCities Website. Fifteen years later, she’s still online, using tech-savvy and an uncomplicated approach to show women that technology can be exciting, fun, and not exclusive to guys with glasses and pocket protectors.

A lifelong geek, Jennifer loves Apple products, “Star Wars,” Rickrolling, Wikipedia and “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose.” She currently resides in Los Angeles and remains undecided about The Singularity.
