Kristina Reilly | Operations Manager
Biography | The Real Story
With more than 13 years of experience in the public relations industry, Kristina Reilly manages the finances, benefits, operations and facilities at GroundFloor Media. In addition, she specializes in blending agency operations with GroundFloor Media's public relations efforts. The blending of practices allows GroundFloor Media's senior-level PR pros to focus on the business at hand—garnering results for their clients, while providing strong account management and client service. From managing accounting practices and benefits to the IT department and facility operations, she plays a strategic role in the agency's daily operations and future direction.
Prior to joining GroundFloor Media, Kristina worked for Metzger Associates where she oversaw operations. Her leadership and management skills produced a strong record of exceeding the company's management expectations. At Metzger, Kristina created revenue projects and determined financial targets, tracked financial goals, managed the company's communications systems and handled human resource-related issues. Kristina also created and grew the agency account services department by providing the agency's account staff with top-notch administrative support, allowing them to focus on client service.
Kristina began her career in public relations at Cunningham Communication in Cambridge, Mass. During her tenure at Cunningham, she grew her position to oversee the research resources for all three of Cunningham's offices.
Born and raised in Rhode Island, Kristina ventured to the Midwest to earn
a bachelor’s degree in history from Ohio Wesleyan in Delaware, Ohio.
After a short retreat back east, Kristina moved to Colorado in 1998. She,
her husband and son live in an old Four Square in one of Denver’s historic
neighborhoods. When not tending to their two weimaraners and their cat, the
family spends many weekends renovating their home and exploring the outdoors.
Biography | The Real Story
Even as a child, Kristina was always looking for the most efficient means of getting the job done. She often asked her mom questions like, “Are cemeteries laid out in alphabetical order?” (Admit it–it’s a good idea!) But growing up in Barrington, Rhode Island didn’t offer a whole lot for a young planner, besides getting in trouble. So when Mommy’s little angel backed the family car into the garage door, she was convinced her mother would literally kill her. After all, she was only 13. She did live to see 14 and proceeded to take a job at a neighborhood pub. (We know – it’s so wrong!) So it only stands to reason that she would collect – what else – wine corks! We're guessing she earns ’em.
Regardless, it was this “behind the scenes” insight that trained her mind to work the way it does, Kristina has the ability to anticipate the needs of others, making her the MVP of GroundFloor Media. But even with all this organizational ability, she doesn't really take herself too seriously. In Kristina’s words, “Heck – life’s too short!”
An avid skier and hiker, the Colorado lifestyle suits her. This worked out great when she decided to marry another East Coast transplant. She continues to assist organizations that help fight homelessness and poverty and insists on being true to herself. And while reliability and fun don’t always go hand-in-hand, when it comes to Kristina, that is definitely the case. She loves wine and good food (except tomatoes and mushrooms), hates rude people, brags about owning a Dyson Vacuum and thinks that without family and friends, the world would be a very lonely place.
While living in Boston, our Rabid Red Sox fan’s claim to fame was sharing a cocktail or two with Gavin Rossdale from the band Bush. She still has the autographed bar napkin in her jewelry box to prove it. But don't worry, Gwen Stefani, she has her hubby, so your role is safe –for now.
Kristina longs to spend days on the beaches of Rhode Island with her husband and son, as well as their two dogs and a crazy cat by her side. They live in a Denver Square house, built in 1906, where she can literally wash her hands and brush her teeth from the toilet.
