The stuff that

matters to us

supporting great writers

Quality writing comes from happy, motivated writers. We ask for excellence and support their success. Our online writers' forum is an active community, and connection creates better content. 

TECH + HUMANS

We’ve built a super-cool technology platform, but deeply personal content comes from humans. Beyond the binary code, team Verblio is a well rounded group of reasonably intelligent people.

Rah rah TEAM SPIRIT

Variety is the spice of team Verblio. We’re a supergroup of SEO-philes, content connoisseurs, designers, engineers, and entrepreneurs. Left brain & right brain, together = just-right brain.

Leadership Team

Steve Pockross

CEO

  Favorite word  Hootenanny

      Hometown  Denver, CO

Steve Pockross

Steve brings more than 20 years of startup, nonprofit, and Fortune 500 experience to his role as bon vivant of Verblio. He was part of the early management team at crowdsourcing pioneer LiveOps and previously led five SaaS and marketing businesses. Outside the office, Steve enjoys ultimate frisbee, telemark skiing, hosting jazz concerts, and spending time with his two boys. Steve hosts Verblio's Yes and Marketing podcast and stars in some truly strange video ads.

profile-greg

Greg Levow

COO & CTO

  Favorite word  Aardvark

      Hometown  New York, NY

Greg Levow

Hailing from the Empire State, Greg is Verblio's Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer. He's also extremely skilled at moving people into and out of zoom breakout rooms. Prior to joining Verblio, he founded an ag-tech startup that uses simulation modeling and weather data to help farmers optimize their fertilizer usage and improve yields, while reducing environmental impact. When he’s not solving hard problems that intersect business and technology, you’ll find Greg in front of a hot BBQ, cold drink in hand, cooking up something big.

profile-mandi

Mandi O'Brien

VP, Product & Design

  Favorite word  Asterisk

      Hometown  Portland, OR

Mandi O'brien

Mandi loves to find simplicity and beauty in the most complex challenges. Her role as Director of Design and Product at Verblio allows her to honor her roots as a true polymath. Prior to Verblio, Mandi worked at fast-growing startups in NYC. Recently, she and her two orange tabby cats relocated to Denver, where they are enjoying their sweet views of the Rocky Mountains. When she’s not working on the latest UX innovation for Verblio, she enjoys music, the outdoors, storytelling, games, and tacos.

profile-zoe

Zoe Treeson

VP, Operations

  Favorite word  Bedraggled

      Hometown  Albuquerque, NM

Zoe Treeson

As senior director of operations, Zoe draws on her background in business and film production to help Verblio customers tell their stories. Outside of the office, Zoe does all the (Boulder) things—hiking, cycling, running. Only her complete disinterest in snow sports differentiates her from your average Boulderite. Yet somehow, we’ve found it in our hearts to forgive her.

profile-jason

Jason Sindler

CFO

  Favorite word  Shenanigans

      Hometown  Baltimore, MD

Jason Sindler

Jason is our resident spreadsheet ninja and currently ranked 28th Worldwide (and 5th in the US) in the Financial Modeling World Cup. He brings 20 years of financial experience to his role at Verblio, where he helps cull information from our data. Before that, Jason worked in corporate finance and consulted for startups, wineries, and even the PBR (Professional Bull Riders). When he's not on his laptop, Jason is a domestic first responder and can be found spending time with his family.

profile-paul

Paul Zalewski

SVP, Marketing

  Favorite word  Yup

      Hometown  St. Louis, MO

Paul Zalewski

Paul runs marketing at Verblio and is a self-proclaimed digital marketing and SEO nerd. (Checking Google Analytics is his favorite form of procrastination). Although digitally savvy, Paul has a rare genetic defect that makes him incapable of understanding memes. His prerequisite I-live-in-Colorado activity is snowboarding, and his prerequisite millennial drink of choice is bulletproof coffee. Verblio colleagues do not approve of his favorite word.

profile-brad

Brad Kemp

SVP, Business Development

  Favorite word  Arugula

      Hometown  Port Huron, MI

Brad Kemp

Brad loves pizza, but not pineapple on pizza. When he’s not leading enterprise sales efforts, you'll find him achieving the perfect Neapolitan-style pizza crust. Spontaneous and rarely bored, he also excels at 90s music trivia. Before Verblio, Brad spent most of his career building and leading sales teams, most recently launching and growing a platform that makes it easy for Fortune 1000 companies to find video production freelancers.

Senior Sales Manager

  Favorite word  Sublime

      Hometown  Olympia, WA

Megan Skalbeck

Sr Content Marketing Manager

  Favorite word  Pandemonium

      Hometown  Spirit Lake, IA

Megan loves denim on denim, energy drinks that make your face tingle, the ocean, and also the desert. Her role at Verblio is a smorgasbord of high-value efforts ranging from podcast production to writer marketing to a lengthy sojourn involving Quality. She rejects the cat/dog binary. She also has a life outside the office that involves a saxophone, a skateboard, and last-minute 20-hour road trips.

profile-brittnee

Brittnee Spears

Marketing Manager

  Favorite word  Sesh

      Hometown  St. Louis, MO

Brittnee is an adventure seeking mountain lover. As Verblio's marketing manager, she runs a tight ship, so beware.

Most likely to Succeed

profile-alexa

ALEXA BARAY

Director of Enterprise Ops

  Favorite word  Tsundoku

      Hometown  Coral Springs, FL

Alexa is a trilingual bibliophile with a severe case of nerdiness. She started as a Verblio writer, rose to account manager, and finally coerced worked her way into the operations team,now managing our Enterprise Customer Success team from her home office in Florida. When she’s not spamming Slack with pictures of her husky, you’ll find Alexa playing video games, boating, re-reading Harry Potter, or singing showtunes.

Nat Larson

Enterprise Customer Success Manager

  Favorite word  Behoove

      Hometown  Vashon, WA

Hailing from a picturesque island in Puget Sound, Nat is the hyper-competent, delightfully quirky, process-obsessed puzzle piece our Ops team was missing.

profile-meghan

Meghan Hauser

Customer Success Manager

  Favorite word  Cute

      Hometown  Toms River, NJ

As a Customer Success Manager, Meghan loves creative problem solving and helping customers get the most out of Verblio. She is a New Jersey native and spent the first 6 years of her career working in startups in New York City. Her love of nature and fresh mountain air made relocating to Denver a no-brainer. In her free time you can find her at the dog park with her terrier or exploring everything her new city has to offer.

Sarah Schenkkan

Enterprise Customer Success Manager

  Favorite word  Tandsmør

      Hometown  Seattle, WA

A proud multi-hyphenate, Sarah brings her background as an interdisciplinary performer, writer, and scrappy community builder to the Enterprise team. When she’s not captivating clients on Zoom, you can find her plotting future trips, poring over her vintage cookbook collection (jellied chicken, anyone?), and adventuring to the best food spots the five boroughs have to offer. Ask her for a rec!

profile-tj

TJ Raszka

Operations Manager

  Favorite word  Touché

      Hometown  Denver, CO

T.J. has been in the customer relations industry for almost 15 years, so it’s safe to say he’s a people person. And having lived in places like New York, Chicago, Michigan, and now Denver, he’s no stranger to travel. Work seems to be the only thing that makes T.J. sit still. In his free time, you’ll find him rock climbing, hiking, camping, snowboarding, road-tripping, or just getting lost in the outdoors (sometimes literally).

Marketplace Operations

Most likely to have been a writer in a past life

profile-josh

Josh Duvauchelle

Director of Marketplace Ops

  Favorite word  Chill
