We Don’t bite
Meet Monday
#Boss
Leadership
CEO & Founder
Jamie McLaughlin
His all-time favorite film is Wayne’s World, his 2nd favorite film is Wayne’s World 2
A London born Celt, Jamie dreamed of being a Soccer Star in his youth, and despite the potential of great wealth and fame he chose recruitment - which he was very bad at for a number of years. After he got pretty good at it, he moved to NYC in 2014. He has a passion for all sports including skiing (where he has been rescued by helicopter twice) and cycling (of which he has been knocked off by both a London Black Cab and a wolf).
COO & Founder
Carly Mednick
Carly is our very own TMZ encyclopedia. She could probably give DeuxMoi a run for their money
As our COO, she keeps us organized and functioning. We stay impressed that between that and watching every show Bravo has to offer, she still has time to study the latest pop culture news and check out NYC’s newest restaurants.
It’s also important to note that Carly got Alesso to wear our Monday Talent hat at a day party in Vegas. We’re just hoping she doesn’t leave us for the DJ scene.

The Team
Talent DIRECTOR
Ruby Sokol
Even though we still get confused when Ruby says “arvo” instead of “afternoon,” we are so happy to have her around
Living in New York has been quite the change for Ruby as she is no longer a quick walk from the gorgeous Australian beaches she grew up next to in Perth.
Ruby’s love of pugs always led her to believe she would be a veterinarian when she grew up, but thankfully (for us) she took a very different path. We feel very lucky this happened- that Australian accent never gets old.
Talent manager
Jennifer Ambrosio
Jen has a serious knack for remembering credit card numbers. Not sure if we should be concerned
Growing up, Jen always envisioned becoming an elementary school teacher but one meeting with a recruiter launched her into a career that eventually led her to Monday Talent.
On her days off you can find Jen embracing the "it's 5 o'clock somewhere” mentality on the beach or binging every movie in the 'Recently Added' category on Amazon Prime. Jen brings infectious energy and connects with everyone on the team, perhaps that's the Leo in her. Yes, she's very into zodiac signs.
TALENT MANAGER
PEBBLES OBANDO
Part talent whisperer, part real estate mogul, full-time Shore enthusiast.
With 8 years of talent matchmaking magic under her belt, Pebbles has a knack for spotting superstars in marketing, tech, and creative like it's her sixth sense (and trust us, it might be).
When she's not wrangling top talent, you'll find her embracing the Pura Vida lifestyle–whether it's hiking, biking, or simply soaking up the sun at the Shore. Oh, and did we mention she's a whiz at real estate and can whip up a Costa Rican feast that'll make your tastebuds sing? Just be sure to pronounce "salmon" correctly if you want to stay on her good side.
Operations MANAGER
Stephanie Blake
Operations maestro by day, Real Housewives of Atlanta connoisseur by night
At Monday Talent, Stephanie Blake's organizational expertise is the backstage force, keeping our dynamic work environment tuned to perfection. Used to managing daily chaos at work and home, as a mother of two boys, joy often comes in the form of small wins, tiny reprieves, and the occasional Jamaican stew peas and rice.
Spoken like a true ops manager, if you want to stay off her bad side, don’t come around with clutter!
SENIOR Talent CONSULTANT
Jacquelin Stanford
Don't let the chicken tenders fool you, Jacquelin is all business when it comes to finding top talent.
If you hear someone shushing you during a movie, it's probably Jacquelin Stanford. This Michigan native by way of Los Angeles is a film aficionado turned talent consultant.
After a decade of crafting cinematic set design, she swapped Hollywood for the corporate world, proving that her eye for detail and talent translates seamlessly from the behind-the-scenes to the boardroom. When she's not matchmaking top talent with companies, you'll find her exploring NYC's cultural scene and always ordering off of the kids menu.
SENIOR TALENT CONSULTANT
AZIZA YAROPA
We finally have a token vegetarian and yes, she’s from California
Oddly, Aziza does not enjoy watching movies, but when she comes up for air from TikTok, she will watch any show Bravo has to offer.
In her free time, Z, as she's known to us, enjoys the diverse cuisines the Bay Area has to offer, cooking new recipes, and a perfect day at the beach with a podcast in her Airpods.
