Real life-changing experiences
Leadership
Claire Komorowski
CEO, aka Chief Puppy Officer
I’m married to a great guy and share life with one snuggly Bernedoodle named Casey (courtesy of EliteTeacupPuppies). Our family always dreamed of having puppies, but allergies delayed that dream until later—when “Bart the Wonder Dog” (a Welsh Corgi) finally joined us and immediately stole our hearts.My professional path has focused on leading teams and businesses in service-first industries, most recently running Sales Strategy & Operations for HomeAdvisor (now Angi). I joined EliteTeacupPuppies in 2019 because I believe puppies positively impact people’s lives. Casey joined our family in 2020, and by then I knew there was no better place to find our perfect puppy. I was promoted to CEO in 2021, a role I’m incredibly excited and grateful to hold. I look forward to continuing to raise the bar for animal well-being while helping deliver joy to families across the country.
Carolyn Edwards
Vice President, Marketplace Operations aka the Coach
I joined the amazing EliteTeacupPuppies team in January 2024 to work with our national network of certified breeder partners on how together we can continue to provide perfect puppies to our customers in the most perfect way. It’s been a blast thus far; all great people doing a really important job: delivering unconditional love. Prior to EliteTeacupPuppies I ran operations for a company called Palmetto and before that had a long stint at GrubHub, where I ended up as Senior Director, Merchant Strategy and Operations. Geographically, I have been a bit of a pinball. I was born in Chicago (still a Bears and Cubs fan), and am in Philadelphia with my wife and Addision and Billie, our two Labradoodles for a two year stint. As a kid I had a cat named Laila, a Welsh Springer Spaniel named Buddy, and an slobbery Chocolate Lab named Guinness which, in retrospect, seems appropriate. I have loved playing or watching sports my whole life. From kickball and tennis to cycling, soccer and flag football, I think any game is a good game.
Stuti Thakor
Director of Digital Marketing
Let’s get this right out of the way. I am the proud mom to one of the cutest Golden Retrievers around, and his name is Zeus. He doesn’t so much look like the Greek God, but he does rule my world. We live in Castle Pines, Colorado, a rural suburb of Denver, with tons of parks, which you know who loves. I have been a long-time dog lover and informal activist for the betterment of puppies everywhere and bringing to light the truths around responsible breeding and responsible pet ownership. It’s a big reason I joined EliteTeacupPuppies because I so believe in the work we are doing and the standards we are setting as the leading puppy placement service in America. Prior to joining the team I worked at Sling TV, managing all the digital media and before that at a small but mighty digital agency.
