RONII BARTLES
Ronii is a Market Research Consultant and branding strategy guru. She has a whole list of credentials like an MBA from The Citadel that will bore you to tears and she loves to go around telling people that she actually is one of the Most Influential Women in Business because the Charleston Regional Business Journal told her so. Obviously she lives in her own little world and really is a walking contradiction.
She loves beer, college football (Let’s GOOO Mountaineers!), pizza, jeans, and designer high heels. You can find her out and about literally everywhere, so walk up and introduce yourself if you are ready to get an earful; she has never met a stranger.
