About Betty | Co-Founders | Our Team

Shaun Marsh, General Manager & Publisher

In addition to being a co-founder and managing the business operations for BettyConfidential.com, Shaun has more than 20 years of experience and a track-record of innovating new online products and services and building and leading successful teams for both start-ups and established companies. Early in his career, he helped launch several successful technology start-ups followed by principal roles at Fortune-500 companies including Xerox and Tandem, now part of HP. Shaun then launched an e-commerce company which was profitable within three months and purchased by a large online media firm within one year. Soon after, he was recruited by Schwab where he turned-around a number of key divisions, directly resulting in several increases in revenue for the company. He has contributed to standards committees, spoken at industry conferences and has received a patent for the first mobile integrated browser/instant messenger. Shaun holds an A.B. from UC Berkeley and an M.S. and Ph.D. from UC San Francisco. To contact Shaun, please e-mail him at shaun@BettyConfidential.com.

April Daniels Hussar, Executive Editor

A California girl transplanted to the wilds of the Big Apple, April’s background includes extensive editorial and marketing work, social media expertise, and a whole lot of blogging. Previous to BettyConfidential, April was managing editor of Yuddy.com where she honed her gossip-hound chops (a dubious, yet surprisingly useful, talent). She was managing editor at the luxury publication Ocean Style Magazine, contributing editor at Psychopedia.com, and she has contributed to a variety of online publications including HuffingtonPost.com, Yahoo's Shine.com and SheFinds.com. She has written about everything from friending exes on Facebook to Sarah Palin; from the best lip gloss to raising a daughter in the 21st Century. A popular mommy blogger, April traveled to the Vancouver Winter Olympics as one of Proctor & Gamble’s “Thank You Mom” Bloggers. Determined not to let life end post-Bambina, April's as likely to be found rubbing elbows with fellow fashionistas and gawking at celebs at premiers and events as trolling Target for cheap-chic tees and economy-sized Tide. April has a slight addiction to books and beauty products and in her imaginary spare time, neglects her personal blog. To contact April, please e-mail her at april@BettyConfidential.com.

PJ Gach, Senior Editor: Style+Beauty

PJ Gach is afraid of big scary bugs and heights, but that’s about it. This New York City based editor has written Op Eds for The New York Post and is proud of the hate mail she received for her efforts. She’s related to the first man who owned a car in New York City, thereby making the streets unsafe for pedestrians, which is why she prefers the subway. As a young child, PJ would steal her mother’s copy of WWD, and that’s how she started her fascination with fashion. Both Tim Gunn and Brandusa Nero have complimented her on her style. PJ began her career in journalism covering the music and entertainment industry. She’s interviewed Yoko Ono, Alicia Keyes, Usher, and a host of other A list celebrities. Some of the publications PJ has written for include Rolling Stone (online and print), EDGE Publications, metro.pop, Ingénue, Gear, Drill and Teen Beat magazines. Her first book, Crazy for Cody: An Unauthorized Biography of Cody Linley was published by Penguin Books in June 2009. To reach PJ, please email pj.gach@BettyConfidential.com.

Lucia Peters, Associate Editor

A New Yorker by way of Boston with a brief stop in London, Lucia lives a double life as a writer/editor and a theatre director. What this means is that she spends a lot of time thinking about exactly what she would do if she had a time machine. When she’s not blogging about everything from the latest movies and TV shows to the wackiest new Internet memes, she can be found drinking too much coffee while glued to her Kindle. Her writing has also appeared on TheGloss.com and Crushable.com To get in touch with Lucia, please email her at lucia.peters@BettyConfidential.com.
