Informal about me :)
I love learning and researching new ideas that include best in class practices. I bring a unique integrated approach and care deeply about executing strategic events centered around the customer experience. In addition, I understand the value of community and the strategy included to recruit, engage, and extend the customer life cycle through it.
Also, important to me, is measuring and analyzing ROI to make sure we are contributing and impacting the companies goals. I have worked collaboratively with internal and external teams to manage strategy and logistics for user conferences, executive summits, webinars, user groups, customer advisory boards, trade shows, roadshows, sales kickoffs and sales clubs. My goal is to continue to manage different marketing events that will allow me in the future to lead a best in class event marketing team.
