Kate Greer, Marketing Director, QFive
KATE GREER knows a thing or two about the confluence of fitness, fashion, and functionality: As a former Division I athlete, turned NYC finance pro, turned Director of Marketing for hot start-up QFive (THE social platform for the athletic community, in our humble opinion), she demands a lot from everything she totes around. After all, her typical day involves hours in front of the computer developing campaigns to engage the athletic community, a pit-stop at say, a high school basketball practice, maybe a meeting or two with an Olympian to get them set up on QFive, a few tech networking events, and if lucky, some mile repeats on NYC's East River track.
Here are the 10 things that keep Kate Greer going.
- 1
The Nike Fuelband
I'm so competitive that I even make board games painful. This is the perfect gadget for me because I can compete with myself, and use the app to track my progress.

Theory Kanya Rowdy Leather Blazer
This is the start-up version of your "blazer": It's less structured, and more comfortable and fun.
- 3
Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Primer
This is great for days that don't start with seven hours of sleep and a run.
- 4
Givenchy North-South Nightingale Tote
This is my "computer bag." My laptop comes everywhere with me but I refuse to carry an ugly, black case. I go for bright totes with the right dimensions instead.
- 5
Sports Series Adidas Waterproof Headphones
I'm on a perpetual search for comfortable headphones that stay in at 10mph paces and can endure both a sweaty run and the bottom of my handbag. In an ideal world, they would include a microphone for calls worth pausing a workout for, but these are pretty close to perfect.

Dannijo Lindsay iPhone Case
My iPhone is near and dear to my heart and I've learned the hard way that I need a case for it. I can't imagine a better-looking one.
- 7
Cartier Men's Watch
A splurge, but I love marching into a meeting wearing a
man's watch. - 8
Alternative Apparel Burnout Deep V-Neck
Favorite t-shirt of all time. Enough said.
- 9
Under Armour Ultra Comp Short
A workout necessity: Spandex that stays put, in a color that cabs can't miss.
- 10
Ash Bowie Wedge Sneaker
I've happily retired my finance pumps, but I still can't quit the extra inches so I exchanged them for booties and high tops and sometime high tops/bootie hybrids, which I wear everyday.
