I'm a pretty even split of Phoebe and Monica -- creative type who gets a little too competitive on the racquetball court.
If you're into fancy bullets, I've got those as well:
✦ Copywriter and brand strategist with experience working in-house, freelance, and at an agency.
✦ Specialties: website copywriting, social media content
✦ Chill unless watching my Portland Trail Blazers blow another lead, then all bets are off. Dame Lillard for prez.
Bonus: I can also put together a decent ad layout if the designers are out (Adobe Creative Suite skillz)
Experienced Strategic Manager with a demonstrated history of working in the telecommunications industry. Skilled in Marketing , Negotiation, Business Planning, Coaching, and Sales. Strong information technology professional graduated from UNISA.
20+ years in tech. Insatiable passion for building business.
I’m known for my no-nonsense approach to brand development & product marketing, good storytelling, and most of all - getting shit done. I champion a very hands-on approach, and I thrive in an environment where things need to move quickly and their impact is seen immediately. Most of all, I like to build things and see them grow. Whether it's leading brand & marketing for Huddle since its infancy to becoming the global leader in collaboration for government & enterprise. Or building a digital media and mobile consultancy whose clients included Disney, Nokia, Toshiba and Garmin. Or keeping my hands dirty while advising 50+ companies across software, hardware, mobile, telecommunications & networking and engineering.
I'm good at brand identity, brand management, integrated marketing, customer & user acquisition, online marketing, product marketing, content marketing, email marketing, inbound marketing, outbound marketing, communications strategy, media relations, analyst relations, crisis communications, internal communications, social media, geographic expansion. I'm unbeatable at team building.
I'm an actor and temporarily retired podcaster. I run a boutique recording studio. And I lead a 50k+ community of Girls Who Can't Surf Good (Yes, it is grammatically incorrect. On purpose. See Zoolander)
