Title
Strategic Account Manager
Present
I am strategically developing business relationships to align client needs with marketable product design and measurable business strategy solutions for the long-term success of BOTH parties. The focus is, and will always be, on the client experience.
Past
I have more than 10 years of experience in business development and account management from various B2B industries including HR consulting, digital marketing, trade show and interior architectural products. I hold degrees from UW-Madison and DePaul University.
Passion
Bringing people together for a mutual benefit is what I define as my passion. I thrive on ensuring other people’s success and happiness.
Play
I recently completed some career personality assessments conducted by a human capital management consultant. He concluded that I am as extroverted as they come, so my passions revolve around people and places – traveling, contributing to conversations in social media, coordinating professional and personal get-togethers, participating in athletic games and exercise classes, dining out, etc.
What is your first memory of design thinking?
I guess the appropriate answer is that in the third grade I won a Valentine’s Day card contest that read, “You’re Turtley Cool!” with a sketch of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arm-in-arm on the cover. The accurate answer would be finding innovative ways to hang out with my friends growing up when you have over-protective, academically-focused parents!
