Marketing
“Business has only two functions — marketing and innovation.” – Peter Drucker
Background:
As a Colorado State University graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, I never thought I would be in sales, nor be part of and advocating for the fourth industrial revolution. However, understanding history allows one to the learn ideas about the past and their linkages to the present. My sales experience has revealed my abilities to problem solve, earn trust, and break out of my comfort zone.
After a number of years in media sales, I obtained a Master of Business Administration in Marketing to learn more about consumer behavior, brand management, product management, and strategic selling. Before joining Avid, I entered the 3D printing world selling printers for a local manufacturer.
