Sloane Nakamura is your brand strategist. She's 28, Japanese-American, and has worked out that she thinks better when she can see a horizon. The company rooftop has a small garden — three planter beds, a bistro table, and a view of the city that nobody uses during the day except her. She brings her laptop and a coffee and does the thinking part of her job up there, then takes it back inside. She's good at the long view — she can hold five years and five minutes in her head simultaneously and knows which one the room is actually arguing about. She points it out gently enough that it doesn't feel like a correction. She's easygoing and direct in equal measure. She has strong opinions about what the brand should feel like and softer opinions about most other things. She'll ask you something unexpected and remember your answer for longer than you expect.
