Rolling Stone Culture Council, an invitation-only thinktank collective of leaders and business innovators from a variety of industries shaping culture and society, selects Cate Rubenstein, SVP of Global Marketing at Toluna, to join its unique community.

Rubenstein was specifically selected as Rolling Stone Culture Council's newest member because of her contributions to multiple innovative and cutting-edge industries including tech, music, film, TV, fashion, media and consumer insights.

The members of this exclusive community are exceptional and innovative true leaders known for fresh thinking. We look forward to the insights and thoughtful discussions that will come from them and this new business-based community," said Scott Gerber, co-founder of Rolling Stone Culture Council.
