Annie Rita Riley – a Riley, although not of Pawtucket, was born in Washington, DC, but now lives on the West Coast. Her parents, Joan M. Burggraf and Stephen F. Riley still live in DC, as does her sister Kate. Her paternal grandparents were the late Rita P. Coleman (1917 – 1974) and the late Francis C. Riley (1915 – 2004).

Annie’s Harvard/Stanford education has led her to some very interesting business opportunities and personal adventures. Presently, Annie owns and operates Riley LLC. Her consulting firm services “venture-backed clients across a range of industries, with a focus on marketplace businesses.” (Hey, I was a substitute teacher once.)

Even though she is at the beginning of her career, Annie has had the opportunity to serve on several boards and non-profit organizations. One of her more interesting projects involves South America’s Patagonia National Park!

Happy Birthday, Annie, may the mountain streams and your years ahead all be crystal clear.
