The big picture AND details: Few can really do both well. I’m right and left brained and that makes for an interesting slant on solving problems which is my favorite thing to do. It’s like a puzzle.My lens is Marketing: I love every aspect of this role in running a business, big or small. And strategy is the driver of my solutions I offer my colleagues and clients. The use of technology and design (user experience / UX / CX; the customer journey; email marketing; et al…) often are my tools of the trade. At the same time, traditional marketing is still very much alive. I thoroughly enjoy creating a product/service from scratch and can take a broken one and fix it’s flaws and relaunch it to the world.If we have worked together and you know me, you know that I’m a WYSIWYG: what you see is what you get. I’m open and honest and truly value this in others and am a straight shooter. As a problem solver, I have a special knack for taking complex problems and distilling them down into understandable and manageable components. I deliver and I get things done. And, if something has my name on it, you can rest assured that I’ve done my best to execute well. I value a person’s word, and hold both myself and others accountable for deliverables as working as a team is often the only way to get something done in an organization.My interests include: Strategy; thinking outside of the box; marketing; data analytics; working with teams to execute a common goal; technology and UX design; knowledge sharing (being a Maven); networking; lifelong learning; photography, especially story-line style; travel; functional medicine; and, my family. On a personal note: My passion is being a Mom. It has been and will always be THE most important “job” in my life.My StrengthsFinder results: 1) Strategic: people who create alternative ways to proceed; faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patters and issues.2) Achiever: people who have a great deal of stamina and work hard; they take great satisfaction from being busy and productive.3) Relator: people who enjoy close relationships with others; they find deep satisfaction in working hard with others to achieve a goal.4) Woo: people who love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over; they derive satisfaction from breaking the ice and making a connection with another person.5) Focus: people who can take a direction, follow through, and make the corrections necessary to stay on track; they prioritize then act.
