Heather O'Connor

Marketing Advisor

Heather is a marketing executive with over 20-years of experience working with Fortune 500 and consumer packaged goods brands. More recently, she founded IncubateUS, LLC, a marketing and distribution solution provider for international brands seeking turnkey access to the U.S. marketplace via sales channels like Amazon and Shopify.

A hopeless and life-long Cat Mom, Heather initially started with Rock ‘n Rescue as a foster and quickly embraced the organization’s passion for saving animals that in turn, save their humans. Heather and her husband, Sean (a.k.a. “Cat Dad of the Year”) directly contributed family foundation funding in direct support of Rock ‘n Rescue’s new adoption facility based in Bedford Hills, NY. Their daughter, Shannon, adopted Rock ‘n Rescue cats that are essential therapy animals in her journey with epilepsy. Heather remains actively involved in fundraising initiatives as well as marketing and PR aimed at spreading the word and reaching deeper within the community to build awareness and support for Rock ‘n Rescue’s important cause.

Heather also proudly bears the badge of “Foster Failure,” a title reserved for those who achieve the three Fs:

1 – Foster a kitten

2 – Fall in love with the kitten

3 – Fail to fork over the kitten
