Hola! Meet the CEO
Claire Komorowski CEO, aka Chief Puppy Officer
I’m a mom of three adorable kids, one snuggly Bernedoodle named Casey (courtesy of PuppySpot), and am married to a great guy. I grew up in Michigan (go Blue!) and our family always desired to have puppies…but I was allergic. My family waited until I left for college to bring “Bart the Wonder Dog (Welsh Corgi)” home. He immediately stole our hearts. My professional path has focused on leading teams or companies in service first industries, with my most recent pre-PuppySpot job running Sales Strategy & Operations for HomeAdvisor (now known as Angi). I joined the PuppySpot team as head of Revenue Operations in 2019 because I believe puppies positively impact peoples’ lives. Casey joined our family in 2020, by then I knew there was no better place to find our perfect puppy. I was promoted to CEO in 2021, a role I am thrilled to play. My family and I now live happily in central New Jersey.
Our Team
They All Joined Us!
Cherie Pidcoe
Director Breeder Experience
Hello y’all! Greetings from Palm Bay, Florida. As Director Breeder Experience it is my job to make sure that our breeder partners are fully supported and feeling great about their partnership with us. I’ve been at PuppySpot for many years and have spent most of my life working with animals, including being a veterinarian technician and operating a Doberman Rescue service. Right now I have three dogs, Brodi a Biewer Terrier, Jax a Yorkshire Terrier and George, a wee Chihuahua. Oh, and a cat named Oliver and two Cockatiels named Reese and Buttercup. Get it? My animals are my kids and completely rule my house, which means me. Other things I love: gardening, scuba diving, boating, thrift stores, garage sales and having beach days with my doggies.
Valencia Ken
Dog Trainer
I live just south of Cherie in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a sunny city on the East Coast and the temporary home of tens of thousands of college students every Spring Break. Don’t visit then! I’ve been with PuppySpot for over thirteen years, doing a variety of different jobs. My current role involves working closely with Carolyn Edwards to continue to improve and expand our breeder partner program. I love the work, love the team, and really love puppies. In fact I love animals, whether they have four legs or eight. If you stop by some time you will be greeted by Shelton, my Labdradoodle, a Corgi named Tyrion, three cats that go by Pandora, Persephone and Binx; Avocado, a Bearded Dragon; two tarantulas named Lillith and Bryaxis, and one hyperactive jumping spider dubbed Ghost Face. Yes, you read that right. Outside of tending to my flock I garden, read a lot and go to concerts when I can.
Alessa Stark
Dog Trainer
Hi! I have been here for four years, serving in a product management role and loving it. I was born in Venezuela and now live in Colombia. Prior to joining the company, I worked for a range of telecom and IT startups. I have an MBA and BS, and a range of product and project management certificates. While I am proud of that, I am most proud of my family, my husband Alejandro, our sons Alejandro, David, and our beagle Tony Stark. When I have free time, which is not often, I calm down by doing yoga, I speed up by roller skating, and I get grounded by reading books on spirituality, psychology, and human purpose.
