Mary Ellen Fukuhara

Post college, I started as a Management Trainee and Staff Accountant at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I subsequently worked in several dot.com's in the mid 1990's. During that time I was introduced to the Investor Relations profession, which is a combination of strategy, public speaking, legal guardrails, financial acumen and relationship building. I ended up loving the challenge this profession offers and never looked back. I have now worked in Investor Relations for nearly 30 years and hold IRC credentials through the National Association for Investor Relations. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing leaders and brands during my career, including helping to lead the IR team at Starbucks for nearly 20 years, as well as time in Private Equity. I now oversee the Investor Relations, Competitive Intelligence and Sustainability functions at Zillow.
