Having completed the relaunch of Ziggs, Jules amicably left the company in the summer of 2007 and says about her current job search, "I’ll be looking for my next Ziggs...a company doing new and slightly insane things, possibly on the web. If they need someone who lives and breathes product development, enjoys managing teams through complex and ambitious endeavors, has some international business experience, and loves putting good people and companies together, I’m the gal."

Jules has been building leading brands and developing innovative products for over twenty years. She relocated back to the US in 2005, after four years of living and working in Ireland. Her consulting practice in both countries was devoted to consumer facing enterprises such as Hasbro, Smirnoff, and Eircom.
