Earlier this year, I learned that it would be time to take a new path professionally.
Though not my first choice, the reality is that I would be leaving Xi3 Corporation and looking for new opportunities after serving for over 3-1/2 years as Chief Marketing Officer of Xi3. And in truth, it was a great run, I learned a lot, made some awesome new friends, and had an awesome experience. And in reality, I wish Xi3 nothing but the best now and in the future.
Moving On
So . . . what do you do after 30+ years as a marketing/communications professional and you learn that it’s time to “find a new job?”
The good news is that I recognized that I had/have some core competencies/strengths to draw upon:
- 3.5+ years as CMO for an emerging growth tech company;
- 27+ years in the agency world, consulting with firms in industries as diverse as technology, life sciences and outdoor/recreation and ranging from start-ups to multinationals;
- 20+ years as an entrepreneur running my own agency/consulting practice in areas ranging from public relations to marketing and from investor relations in social media;
- Success in helping drive over $1.1 billion in increased valuations for firms, and, thankfully
- A relatively strong reputation in Utah and the industries where I have worked.
Honestly, one of the best experiences from the past several months was being reminded how many completely awesome friends I have. This aspect of charting a new course has been both awe-inspiring and humbling. Thank you for all of your support.
