Bridget Russo

Chief Marketing Officer, Bloomscape

Detroit

Driven by a desire to combine 20+ years of brand-building experience with positive social impact, Bridget Russo Gottlieb joined the team at Bloomscape in 2019 as CMO to oversee their growth and leadership in the fastest growing retail product of the past few years.

Before joining the Bloomscape team Bridget, headed up marketing for Eileen Fisher moving forward their content strategy, campaign approach and experiential marketing. And from 2012 to 2018 she oversaw global marketing and communications as CMO for Shinola where she worked closely with internal and external partners, across private and public sectors, to build an American design brand through storytelling and products that are built to last.

Prior to Shinola, Russo made a name for herself in the fashion industry by pursuing projects she found ethically compelling—including the establishment of her own consulting firm, Passion Projects Consulting, whose focus was fashion ventures driven by social impact. This globally inspired mentality began with her work at EDUN, the apparel brand founded by Ali Hewson and Bono with a commitment to reducing poverty in Africa through trade.

Bridget was also named one of the Ad Week Brand Genius Class of 2016, bestowed upon 10 of marketing "most talented" that year. She also sits on the Advisory Board for the furniture brand Floyd Detroit, and is an Endeavor Detroit Mentor.
