As a change agent, problem solver, and community builder, I’m open for work and excited to find my next career opportunity. I am honored to have won the 2021 CompTIA Advancing Diversity in Technology Leadership Award, the 2020 CompTIA Woman in Technology Leadership Award, and recognized among the CRN Women of the Channel for several consecutive years. As the VP – Global Community Engagement for CompTIA, I engaged industry colleagues through our Communities, Committees, Advisory Councils, and Technology Interest Group digital forums. Previously, I was the IBM AI Applications & Blockchain Global Ecosystem Marketing Leader where I started a social innovation practice. I have served as Global Program Director for Business Partner Strategy for IBM Global Business Partner Marketing and developed the Emerging Leaders initiative to mentor and engage early career professionals. Passionate about community service, I am involved in many Corporate Sustainability & Responsibility projects. I also served in global program director roles for Digital Content Marketing and Value Added Distributor marketing. I developed and led the IBM Business Partner Innovation Center program. Under my direction 100 centers were launched around the world, providing significant local reach to Business Partners and customers. Working with distributors, the centers also created an ecosystem of top partners, delivering innovative solutions to the marketplace.
I began my career in the world of advertising in New York City, and served as an account manager for blue chip accounts such as IBM, SAP, Sony, among others. It was my success in developing and implementing multi-tier channel development programs that brought me into IBM as a professional hire to jump start channel marketing and to strengthen the channel relationships for the then IBM Personal Computing Division. I have led a variety of breakthrough initiatives, including award-winning channel advertising campaigns, special projects for the Olympics, and new channel programs.
I am an active member in the community, serving as a Board Member and Executive Vice President for the Southern New Jersey Region for Hadassah Medical Organization, Immediate Past President of my religious institution, Immediate Past President of the JP Stevens High School Band Parents Association and Past President of the Middlesex County STEM Academy Foundation.
