My role is to structure conversations with customers across NI's business units, industry segments, and purchasing types, and to create the connection strategy for building credibility and awareness of the future of the Test & Measurement industry and NI's role in furthering it.I have over 9 years of experience at NI, where I also led and grew the global paid media strategy, increasing the working budget 4x and developing the first ever forecasting for advertising return. I was instrumental in promoting the re-brand of the 40-year-old company, resulting in significant growth in unaided recall and social followers. I also drove transactional and e-commerce business with measurable contribution to online bookings, and generated new leads and pipeline through cross-platform connection strategies.
