ABOUT ME
About Poppy Peach
Raised in a restaurant in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California and growing up in the Bay Area amongst hippies and techies, Poppy has an eclectic background. Having traveled as a flight attendant for Continental Airlines, being brought onboard to work on two musicals AND running the West Coast Songwriters Association, Poppy has a wealth of experience to draw upon. From the theater world of NYC to working with amazing, award winning songwriters and beginners, she is always focused on connecting and building. She has been married for over 20 years to her husband, Michael and they have 2 children, Oliver and Molly. Her son Oliver is a firefighter in Oregon and her daughter Molly followed in her footsteps becoming a flight attendant for United Airlines. She believes family and friends come first; work should only add to the joy of your life.
Poppy's most recent work was as the Executive Director of West Coast Songwriters, where in addition to handling the day-to-day workings of the non-profit organization; she created, cultivated and managed events. She took the helm of WCS directly before the pandemic, immediately having to pivot the organization’s events into an Online format. These events included the annual Music Conference and the organization's traditional live events and opportunities. She did this with great success. Her ability to find and motivate a supportive volunteer team to handle the different aspects needed are a great credit to her.
Poppy showcases her gifts as a natural leader and roll up your sleeves contributor and it is difficult not to notice her ability to drive a complex arts-related project from idea to NYC production; her respect and concern for songwriters and artists as a community; and her demonstrated ability to get things done have been impossible to overlook. They are the core elements of Poppy's DNA and the right person to coordinate/consult on arts related projects.
As an independent Project Manager for two musicals, "Zuccotti Park" and "Rumpelstiltskin the Game of the Name" Poppy has both demonstrated and advanced her strong entrepreneurial and leadership skills bringing two very different musicals to life in multiple major markets during the past several years. She thrives in an environment that lends itself to collaboration, creating new ideas and fostering a strong sense of community.
