I’m a professional who is constantly surprised, fascinated by these surprises, and on a mission to be surprised again.
Did you follow that? Here’s what I mean:
If someone asked me 10 years ago what I’d be doing with my career, I never in a million years would have guessed that I would have found myself running a marketing department with the mission to help double the size of 10,000 businesses.
Never.
Why?
Well, I was the stereotypical liberal arts major and thought marketing and sales were ICKY and had no place as a part of my life.
But I found out how fascinating and fulfilling it is to deconstruct marketing puzzles using data, creativity, and technology. In marketing, I found a more fulfilling (and better paying) way to satisfy curiosity with the end result of growing companies.
The surprises don’t stop!
Ever.
If someone asked me 5 years ago whether I thought sales had any place in my professional ecosystem, I would have said “Oh HELL no!”
But surprise, surprise…
I quickly learned that bridging the gap between sales and marketing was a new business puzzle worth tackling and I’ll approach it with data, creativity, and technology.
tl:dr I’m a tech-savvy marketer that runs toward change and loves puzzles.
