In late 2019 and early 2020 I worked with the COO of TDS to restructure the Marketing & Business Development Department, which included reviewing the purpose of the Department, as well as all roles and responsibilities, updating job descriptions and reporting lines, creating new positions and updating existing positions. Following this process, an entire new team was hired between January 2020 and early March 2020. Due to the pandemic, the new team was on-boarded and integrated into the Department and the firm's culture remotely during COVID-19. My new role has transitioned away from marketing to focus externally on clients, including client retention and client relationship development, and working internal with our lawyers and professional service providers on client relations initiatives and business development strategy.
