Gretchen Holloway
Account Executive
I first joined Valpak in 2008 and spent eight rewarding years helping local businesses grow through targeted advertising. After leaving in 2016, I expanded my expertise as a Market Leader in a salon suite concept, where I managed a large portfolio of salon suites and built strong relationships within the beauty industry. Now that I’m back at Valpak, I’m excited to reconnect with the community and continue helping businesses thrive. I love meeting new people and building lasting relationships, which is why my personality is a perfect fit for the Valpak team. By day, I’m dedicated to my work at Valpak, but by night, I embrace my passion for music as a two-time international quartet champion with Sweet Adelines International, most recently winning the international competition in November 2023. I love sharing my musical journey with my family and dear friends.
