Meet the team.
Terri Eagle
Founding Partner · CEO
Terri Eagle is a proven leader of global organizations at the world’s most recognized brands, building teams, scaling revenue, and making brands better at L’Oréal, Montblanc, David Yurman, John Hardy, Schumacher, and Morilee NY.
Her C-suite roles weren’t advisory. They were operational: thousands of employees, dozens of markets, and balance sheets in the billions. She knows what it takes to build something that lasts, and she knows exactly where things go sideways.
She founded Terri Eagle Group because she wanted to make that experience available to brands that couldn’t afford a full-time executive at that level. Every engagement she takes reflects the same standard she held herself to in those seats.
She’s also the author of The Champagne CEO, a direct, practical guide for executives leading luxury brands who want to do it with real authority, not just a title.
Molly Kuffner
Managing Partner · Operations & DTC
Molly Kuffner has spent her career building the operational infrastructure that helps brands grow, from the retail floor at Nordstrom to PE-backed DTC startups and luxury labels, including Sheryl Lowe and Schumacher.
Her specialty is getting from strategy to execution without losing momentum. She builds the systems, the teams, and the customer experience frameworks that make growth sustainable, not just fast. Her DTC track record is concrete: millions in revenue driven, retention programs that compound, and operations that don’t break when things scale.
At Dear Cleo, she built the business from the ground up into a profitable DTC business. At luxury brands, she’s put in place the discipline that turns good products into category leadership. She brings ‘what good looks like’ around operating standards to every TEG engagement.
Marnie McBryde
Managing Partner · Exec Coaching & Search
Marnie McBryde is Managing Partner at Terri Eagle Group. She was formerly the founder of McBryde and Partners, an executive search and leadership advisory firm she founded in 2006. With more than 25 years of experience, she works across executive search, organizational coaching, and career development, supporting both commercial and non-profit organizations. She is known for her ability to move easily between sectors, helping organizations find leaders who can operate with both discipline and purpose. Her work includes recruiting board directors and C-level executives, with a strong track record in the non-profit space, where leadership demands both strategic clarity and mission alignment.
Before launching her firm, Marnie was a partner at Korn Ferry, where she rebuilt the retail, fashion, and luxury practice and established the firm’s first retail advisory board. Previously, she spent over a decade at Spencer Stuart, with roles in New York, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, managing global client relationships (Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, American Express, and Citibank, among others) and leading key initiatives within the firm.
Marnie remains active in the non-profit community and has served on the boards of Guild Hall, God’s Love We Deliver, and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
Kendra Edwards
Managing Director · Marketing
Kendra Edwards is a marketing operator known for building brands that grow with intention and perform. She has led measurable growth across Meta, TikTok, HSN, and a broad range of DTC brands, with a clear focus on reaching customers in ways that drive real action, not just attention.
She works comfortably across both brand and performance, developing digital strategies that tell a strong story and convert. Her experience spans retail, direct-to-consumer, and social commerce, where she has delivered millions in trackable revenue.
Kendra is often brought in when a brand needs to accelerate without losing what makes it special. She brings a thoughtful balance of data discipline and creative judgment, helping teams move forward with clarity and confidence.
Nico Pecchi
Managing Director · Finance
Nico Pecchi has honed his financial expertise at Sephora (LVMH), Oakley (EssilorLuxottica), and Levi Strauss, supporting and improving core finance operations. He has also helped seed-to-Series B companies build the financial infrastructure that makes growth stick and makes investors take notice.
As a fractional CFO, he comes in and quickly cuts through to what matters: the unit economics, the model assumptions, and the reporting gaps that would concern a board. Founders and CEOs who work with him leave the conversation knowing exactly where they stand.
Capital raises, M&A transactions, financial modeling, investor-ready reporting—he’s done all of it at scale, and he can move fast because he’s not building the playbook from scratch.
Hannah Peters
Managing Director · Legal & HR
Hannah Peters has spent a decade leading legal and HR functions at the senior level, covering M&A transactions, IP strategy, employment law, data privacy, and the governance structures that let high-growth companies scale without blowing up.
For founder-led and PE-backed companies, she provides the kind of senior legal and HR leadership that large corporations take for granted but delivered at the pace, cost, and flexibility that early and growth-stage brands actually need. She helps leadership teams make bold moves without creating legal or HR exposure that comes back to bite them.
She’s direct, fast, and practical. She’s not there to add process for its own sake; she’s there to make sure the company can do what it wants to do legally and without regret.
What We Do
Top Ways we
move the needle.
Fractional Executive Leadership
CEO, CMO, CFO, COO, CLO: embedded, operating, accountable. Not advisory. Not once-a-month check-ins. In the room and on the work.
Growth & Go-to-Market
Brand strategy, DTC execution, retail expansion, and customer acquisition are all built by people who’ve scaled the brands you admire.
M&A Readiness & Integration
Pre-transaction positioning, post-close integration, leadership continuity. We’ve navigated acquisitions from both sides of the table.
PE & Founder Advisory
For private equity firms and founder-led companies navigating transition, growth inflection, or leadership gaps between key hires.
Executive Coaching & Search
Develop the leaders you have. Find the ones you need. We place and coach executive talent with the precision of operators.
