Meet the Team
Jessica Lewis
PRESIDENT AND CEO
Jessica Lewis is the President & CEO of LáLew Public Relations. With more than 10 years experience, her passion for PR began in college. While still an undergraduate student at Buffalo State College, Jessica served as the president of an on-campus club dedicated to addressing pressing issues around social justice. She often found herself engaging in meaningful conversations with her peers and would promote club activities and special events. Years later, those experiences coupled with her professional experiences, would come full circle with the launch of her own public relations company.
Wayneen Neville
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
Wayneen Neville is the Chief Operating Officer of LáLew Public Relations. She brings over 15 years of experience in public relations, internal communications, event coordination, and operations. After graduating from Ohio University with a degree in Journalism, she quickly found her niche with small business development and branding.
In 2018, she co-founded and launched Village Christmas Trees, a seasonal pop-up Christmas tree yard in Sewickley, PA. While she loves her work with its branding, logo design and location set up, she looks forward most to her work in building and maintaining lasting relationships with her community and its business owners. (Not so much the working outside in Pennsylvania’s winter weather.)
She also has a passion for progressive education, which underscores her previous work with the Children’s Dyslexia Center in operations. She's served on the board of directors at the Laughlin Children’s Center as the creator and facilitator of their largest fundraising event, the Laughlin Family Ball.
When she’s not working, she loves spending time with her twin daughters and her two black labs, surfing when she can, and helping friends and family with their interior design.
