Who We Are: Meet the Executive Team

 

“You enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets.”

- Nora Ephron

 

Maxwell Worby I

Chief Executive Officer and Chaircat of the Board

Maxwell joined the company in 2005 and brings to Crittercopia a distinguished track record in leadership. As Chaircat of the Board, she leads with an iron paw and knows exactly how to whack everyone into shape, especially the Junior Chaircats. Aside from her official duties, her interests and talents include Houdini-like acts of escape through the smallest of openings in a fence or into the most obscure of hiding places. In her recent past she was known for her Olympian feats of agility in tree climbing and roof climbing. She now mentors the next generation of aspiring four-legged athletes.

Andrew B. Worby

Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing

Also known by his street name “Boo Boo,” Andrew comes to Crittercopia from the road of hard knocks spanning several lifetimes of experience. He was chosen for a top cat executive position at Crittercopia based on his charming animal magnetism, legendary in certain feline circles. Andrew received his graduate degree from the Meowassori School of Business and has since held increasingly responsible positions in the pet industry.

Elsa Von Schroeder

Chief Financial Officer

Elsa comes to Crittercopia with impressive credentials, having graduated summa cat loudly from the Ivy League. Known for her meticulous attention to detail, her brilliance is unsurpassed in jumping and batting capabilities. Prior to joining Crittercopia, she gained notoriety in the entertainment industry and can sit up and roll over on command with the best of them. When not stalking her prey for long hours at the company, Elsa donates time as a volunteer with the Tabby Wrestling Federation.

Casper C. Questor

Executive Vice President of Feline Resources

We are pleased that Casper has joined the Executive Team in charge of Feline Resources during the company’s busy startup phase. Casper also comes from the road of hard knocks. He spent several lifetimes honing his craft on the streets prior to joining Crittercopia in November 2005. Our youngest team member, he is a recent graduate of P.A.W.S. University School of Business where he specialized in Feline Resources Management. He is very intuitive in the fine art of selecting only the beast and the brightest.

Ivan "Garfield" Smirnoff I

Chief Security Officer

Ivan joined Crittercopia in 2004, where he came to us with several lifetimes of experience as a beat patrol officer on the mean streets and alley ways of the city. Ivan is especially adept at sniffing out a problem before it happens with the fiercest of survival instincts. When he is not packing the heat, he enjoys some quality time with his human while snacking on an exotic treat of fresh catnip in the sun.

Cookie Dearborn

Executive Vice President of Diversity

Cookie was selected to develop Crittercopia’s Diversity Team based on her years of experience in several executive leadership positions. She is a true survivor and is most at home when exploring the wide open terrain of parks, trails, and city streets. Cookie is especially admired for her loyal and persistent spirit. True to her Border Collie heritage, Cookie’s idea of a perfect day is when she takes her human for an especially long walk. When not fulfilling her official responsibilities at Crittercopia, Cookie keeps a close eye on her human herd, making sure that no errant individuals stray, especially keen at keeping undesirable elements at bay.

Linda Lange

Crittercopia’s Chief Executive Human

Did you know that each year 3 to 4 million pets are killed in animal shelters across the United States? That’s 11,000 healthy pets killed each day or 458 each hour! I’m Linda Lange, and I founded Crittercopia to help address the lack of funding for animal causes like affordable spay/neuter programs, stronger laws in animal abuse cases, and many other causes. Through the sale of fabulous boutique items like jewelry, glassware and ceramics, lingerie http://stores.ebay.com/Crittercopia and BeautyControl anti-aging skincare and spa products (http://www.beautypage.com/crittercopia) , I am committed to donating a portion of profits to help all animals and to build the Crittercopia Foundation.
