A forward-thinking entrepreneur, she is a sought-after speaker and has contributed to WomeninPR, Global PR Summit Canada, The Kit Conference and at various Universities.

As part of her commitment to building the next generation of women leaders, Christine recently appointed Lexi Pathak as President and leader of the day-to-day operations at the agency.

Lexi Pathak (she/her)

President & Partner

Equal parts strategic and creative, Lexi is an energized leader focused on leading cross-functional teams to deliver results-driven integrated marketing campaigns for lifestyle brands. As President & Partner at Faulhaber Communications, Lexi leads the team to develop imaginative ways to solve new and existing clients’ business challenges to see the agency’s clients bigger. Upon becoming president, Lexi initiated FAULHABER joining 1% for the Planet, committing 1% of sales to not-for-profit organizations in the environmental space. Lexi also created formal DE&I commitments to address the imbalance in the communications industry.

Outcome-obsessed Lexi is always asking “why?”, which fuels her passion for coming up with ideas, and if you ask her for one, she will likely come back with 10. It’s no surprise her top strength is ideation, driven by a fascination with ideas and coming up with new perspectives. With 15+ years of communications experience and a background in journalism, Lexi lends her deep expertise as a mentor for Monday Girl and connecting brands with effective and meaningful ways to share their stories.

As a mother of three young children, Lexi is a master multi-tasker. She finds balance in downward dog and spending time in nature.
