Annie Howell

SVP, Communications & Public Affairs
Planet Green
Class XIII

The irrepressible Howell showed her versatility last year by changing gears, segueing over to head the launch of Discovery’s seedling, Planet Green. Not surprisingly, her “Whisper Buzz Scream” campaign was a huge hit, from Internet anticipation to the launch concert at the Greek Theater. This consummate team player says a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt captures the many lessons she learned at BMLI: “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
