During her career she has worked at Nestlé Purina Pet Care as a Trade Initiatives Manager and a Senior Promotions Manager, developing a number of trade and consumer programs and product launches. Prior to her time with Purina, she worked in the pharmaceutical industry in a number of marketing roles on prescription products and infant/toddler nutrition.

In joining Pets Can Stay as the National Consumer Marketing Manager, Liza brings an in-depth knowledge of the pet care industry and its importance to grocery, mass and pet specialty channels.

“To me pets are more than just animals; they are members of the family. The pet industry for the past several years has seen how pets are becoming more important in people’s lives.
