As Spiceworks first marketing hire and original culture-and-brand maven, I spent a decade building and leading the teams who made the "spice flow"and the brand love grow...to the tune of 10+ million IT pro's using Spiceworks monthly - and two getting TATTOO of our brand on their body! I played a unique hybrid role in shaping, evangelizing and shepherding the culture and brand in a symbiotic way that translated our culture into our brand and customer experiences. Additionally, I drove internal initiatives to help maintain, evolve and scale the culture and brand as the company grew. I learned and practiced that the more truly connected your employees are with each other, your company's North Star, and your customers...the more inspired your people will be, the more vibrant your culture will be, and the more steadfast and beloved your brand will be. Some favorite highlights/ accomplishments from my SpiceLegacy:*Awarded MarketingProf's B2B Brand of the Year (2014)*Recognized with 10x+ Top Workplace Awards (...from the likes of Glassdoor, Fortune & ABJ)*Created & grew Spiceworks IT conference to a global, multi-million dollar, award-winning event*Created Spiceworks first brand training program (recognized by multiple best selling brand authors)*Launched Spiceworks first-ever new manager training program*Launched & grew Spiceworks community user groups (...now a 100-group strong global phenomena)*Nominated by my team for the 2016 Austin Woman of Influence Award (...thx gang!)...long live "the spice!"

After a brief hiatus to fulfill my dream of having a walkabout "Down Under" in Australia, I took this as a first step to evolve my communications skill set in the direction I then knew to be "organizational development." I served as internal communications expert and employee behavioral advisor on a cross-functional, change management team focused on helping IT executives and departments roll-out and drive adoption of new technology across all departments of their organizations.

As the sole marcomm maven supporting revenue outcomes for our Enterprise Business Unit, I worked closely with our sales team and executed a full gamut of integrated marketing communications activities ranging from email and direct mail to events and user conference management. Some memorable highlights amid this gig include:*Received MCP Award (Most Competitive Player) for my creative-meets ROI-focused event strategy*Pioneered a "door opener" concept that resulted in $13 million closed sales revenue*Managed marketing relationships with Fortune 500 partners representing millions in annal revenue

Amid cutting my teeth in the high-tech world, I drove a variety of integrated marketing communications activities including creative concepting and execution of direct mail campaigns, event and trade show management, new product naming, copywriting and content creation.
