Colleen & Hailey Brooks

Abigail Stone & Sayyid Markar

Co-Founders, Otherland

In 2017, Otherland Co-Founder and CEO Abigail Cook Stone set out to build a different kind of candle brand. Inspired by her lifelong passion for art and interiors, her moderately healthy obsession with candles, and her family philosophy of finding small ways to elevate everyday life with “extra verve,” Otherland was born. 

Sayyid Markar previously worked at Dia&Co as Chief of Staff and Head of Finance and has an MBA from Columbia Business School. Prior to business school, he worked at Birchbox. In his role at Otherland, Sayyid oversees operations, manufacturing, growth, and finance.

Brandy Pham

Brandy Pham is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of PLANOLY, the most effective social marketing platform on the market. After establishing her namesake jewelry brand in 2011, selling in stores like Anthropology and Henri Bendel, Brandy recognized first hand the need for an interface that allowed her to schedule out her social media posts, plan her grid, and tailor her social media aesthetic. With that, PLANOLY was born. Now, over four years later, PLANOLY is the industry-leading social marketing platform trusted by over 5 million users to visually plan, schedule, measure performance, and now sell across Instagram and Pinterest.
