Liz Hartmann

When taking the Career Pathways Test in middle school, Liz was not pointed in the direction of “global ecommerce product copy creation director for a multi-billion dollar sportswear company.” Back then, there was no such job. And even now, no college degree can teach how to do what she does. As the adidas account manager at Thread, she works with dozens of project managers, writers, editors, fact wranglers, and proofreaders who join forces to get tens of thousands of product descriptions live on adidas.com each year.When not at Thread, she can be found skiing, digging in her garden, fooling around with her kids and occasionally performing in her town’s off-off-off-off-(off)-Broadway productions.
