In a world where everything is disrupted (clothes! cookware! beauty products!), what’s left to improve? Well, there’s always cell-phone service. Imagine a reasonable monthly phone bill — that’s the dream Minjae Ormes is selling as the chief marketing officer for Visible, which offers a new type of wireless plan. Technically, Visible uses Verizon’s network, but because of its direct-to-consumer approach, the company charges only $40 per month for unlimited data and minutes.
Ormes didn’t think she’d wind up working in a tech-related field. After she earned her master’s degree in cinema studies at New York University, her first few jobs were in the film industry, mainly working on movie marketing. She took those skills to consult for clients like the National Geographic Network before landing at YouTube in San Francisco, where she remained for nearly seven years. Now she calls Denver home, but the Cut caught up with her on a recent business trip to New York. Read on to hear about her unique haircut, why she can travel with just a tiny backpack, and what immigrating from Korea taught her about personal style.

On her everyday shoes: I prefer flats to heels, since I’m usually running from one meeting to another, and when I’m brainstorming with my team, I like to be on my feet. I travel quite a bit for work, and the same pairs of shoes go with me everywhere. That means I’m usually in Golden Goose sneakers or oxfords. I like the ones from the Office of Angela Scott and WANT Les Essentiels — they go nicely with my casual clothes but also look sharp for business meetings. Of course, now that I live in Colorado, there are days when I am living in my Sorel boots.
On going out after work: I’m always trying to squeeze as much as possible into each day, so for most days, one outfit needs to have a whole lot of range! I’m usually in a pair of navy or black pants from Nili Lotan or Julien David, coupled either with a neutral-color Jil Sander or Vince silk top or with a Kit and Ace T-shirt in white, gray, or black.
On big-meeting outfits: I’ll add on to my everyday uniform by throwing on a blazer and red lipstick. My current favorite is black with a slight shimmer all over and a striped lining that shows once I fold up the sleeves. I find it has more character. I’m hoping to add a menswear tweed piece like this Isabel Marant Étoile Kice blazer or this Veronica Beard Martel Dickey jacket.
