Shayla Nastasi is a librarian and digital asset specialist who thrives where creativity meets organization. As the Digital Asset Associate at Helen of Troy, she draws on ten years of experience in data and operations to support the company’s creative work. She completed her MLS at Queens College in 2021 with a focus on digital preservation and archives. Shayla lives in Queens, New York with her family, and when she’s not immersed in metadata, she’s usually out for a run or experimenting with new baking projects. 

Managing content operations across global brands like OXO, Hydro Flask, Drybar, Braun, PUR, and Hot Tools is complex enough. Adding AI into the mix raises the stakes even higher.

Helen of Troy faced a challenge many enterprise organizations are now confronting: rapidly increasing content demand, fragmented workflows, pressure to personalize experiences faster, and the need to operationalize AI without sacrificing governance, discoverability, or brand control.
