After graduating with a B.A. from Princeton University in 1998, Nina moved to Los Angeles where she spent two decades working at the intersection of shopping and technology, helping to launch and grow direct-to-consumer brands with companies including Guthy-Renker, Sole Society, and High Wide & Handsome.

She actively volunteers with the Climate Action Coalition of the Wood River Valley in Idaho and is on the Board of Directors of the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience, where she currently serves as Co-Chair.
