Alan Aisbitt is a Community Marketing Lead at Robinhood. Colleagues describe him as "Alan has done something at Splunk that wasn't possible prior. And the reason I can say that with any credibility? Because I worked there. When Alan joined Splunk, the Splunk Community and User Groups were seen as necessary, but not necessarily strategic investments. People saw the forums as low-cost support. They looked at the Slack as just another noisy space where people tried to get support. User groups were interesting, but not centrally managed and their impact was not fully understood. Then came Alan. He was like, "Wait a minute. There is so much dang value in what we've built, and the second our team understands that, magic will happen." And he was right. Alan built the narrative that resulted in executive buy-in to tell that story. He restructured his team to focus on how their programs influenced the most strategic outcomes for the business - revenue, pipeline, and customer growth. And the data he uncovered captured the minds of stakeholders all across Splunk, leading to investment from Sales, Product, Marketing, and more. To see this go from vision to realty in less than a year is just wild. And none of it would've happened without Alan's leadership." and "Alan leads with empathy, always putting the community first in his community engagement strategies. I worked closely with Alan on social and community during Robinhood's Gamestop saga and saw firsthand how dedicated and strategic he is in times of high stress and crisis. He successfully led a Reddit engagement strategy with thoughtfulness and risk prevention. I'd work with Alan again in a heartbeat!"
