With the launch of RUNG, owner Ali Kindle brings together her wide range of professional, personal and community experiences. The granddaughter of Enterprise Holdings founder Jack Taylor, Ali is applying the same spirit of entrepreneurship he exemplified to empower women to succeed by providing affordable professional attire in a fun, upscale and uplifting environment.
Ali began her professional career as an intern with the Enterprise’s Corporate Accounts and Public Relations departments while attending James Madison University. After graduating in 2003 with her degree in Communications, Ali entered the retail arena as a hostess for The Cheesecake Factory’s Honolulu location, eventually working her way up to Operations Support Technician with responsibilities for the restaurant’s finances and balance sheet.
In 2005, she moved back to St. Louis and accepted a position as Travel Director for Maritz Travel Company where her responsibilities included coordination and on-site execution of events and programs for Fortune 500 companies worldwide.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Ali is a long-time volunteer with the Humane Society of St. Louis. She has assisted the organization in its development, animal rescue, public relations and education efforts and is a member of the Friends Council.
