Global Chief Business Officer. Chief Client Officer. Head of Advertising. Monetizing Thrive Global alongside Ariana Huffington. The business brain behind Refinery29’s category-melting brand immersion and digital darling, 29Rooms. Ashley Miles, Founder & CEO of Franklyn West, is a true superhero of scale. Like any high-achiever, her accomplishments are mere leave-behinds along her quest to help founders drive extraordinary and sustainable growth.
Ashely embodies the legacy of The DWEN Distinction – women who “get it” because we went out and did it. She has both started and scaled enterprise functions within legacy organizations and new media alike – and all without breaking a sweat. At least not one you can see.
The status quo asks, “What now?” Challengers ask, “What’s next?”
Ashley has an endurance for discomfort, a power move for any founder. It’s rivaled only by her ability to embrace the tension within the innovator mindset – minding a responsibility to people and profits now while tending to her vision three moves ahead. With every “what’s next?” she summons the secret language of visionaries and lifelong challengers who, often reluctantly, accept convention at the same time they buck it.
Ashley recently launched her podcast IMPOSSIBLE with co-host Megan Rokosh, global CMO of Havas Health & You, to uncover the raw stories that break conventions, smash glass ceilings, and redefine what’s possible. Impossible is your seat at the table to learn how business moguls, professional athletes, artists, and proven game-changers across all industries overcame impossible setbacks in their unique journeys to success.
I launched this company because now more than ever companies and leaders need fresh thinking, transformation, and industry connections to win in ever-changing market conditions. Old consulting and recruiting models are outdated and a new model has risen. Enter Franklyn West.
