Regional Account Directors

Allison Falk
Northern California Regional Sales Director

Allison leads the sales initiative for World of Good's Northern California region. In this capacity, she works with partner retailers to increase the visibility of our handicrafts and awareness of the World of Good mission.

Prior to World of Good, Allison spent 12 months traveling in developing nations in Asia, including 6 months in India and 2 in Nepal. Here she explored countless villages and markets, witnessing firsthand the conditions under which many handicrafts are traditionally created and sold, as well as the conditions in which many of the artisans were living and working. She felt there had to be a way she could help artisans like the ones she met, gain access to broader markets on a larger scale.

After returning from this journey in 2005, Allison fell into the arms of World of Good through co-founder Siddharth Sanghvi, with whom she had worked in her previous career incarnation as a web site content manager for technology companies.

With her passion for conscious consumerism and a belief that long-term change can be brought about by building a scalable, sustainable business for artisans, Allison takes pride in educating the public regarding World of Good's mission and goals.

Bridget McGovern
NY metro area/NY Tri-State area

Bridget has long reveled in the collection of homemade and unique crafts, many of which she has gathered throughout her extensive travels abroad. It was one particular journey to Morocco, however, that truly illuminated her awareness of the international crafts movement. After a semester abroad Bridget returned to New York City to complete her degree in Fashion Merchandising and Management from the Fashion Institute of Technology. Although her classroom education taught her the importance of taking trend forecasting and merchandising into consideration when incorporating handmade crafts into a mainstream market, she felt only an independent study would truly enrich her intellectually. Participating in the 2006 International Trade Practicum in Costa Rica, Bridget rediscovered the exhilarating craft market abroad. While meeting with individual artisans to learn how they incorporated the environment into home accessories and other crafts, she also learned of their struggle to find their place in a global economy. It was only natural for Bridget to join World of Good as the New York Metro Representative in efforts to support artisans worldwide.
