Celebrity journalist turned CEO creating a new marketplace model to buy and sell event tickets. After a decade in the trenches of New York's entertainment scene, Elizabeth saw the opportunity to pair expiring inventory to cultural events with consumers struggling with decision fatigue -- and Broadway Roulette was born. In 2018, Broadway Roulette joined Morgan Stanley's Multicultural Innovation Lab, an accelerator focused on female and minority-led companies positioned for sizeable growth. Panelist for Forbes Women, Women in Digital, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management Technology Conference, and Bustle Digital Group, and frequent guest on podcasts such as FemmeTrepreneur and Financial Grownup.
