About Me:
I work closely with event marketing internally at Oracle and externally with our production vendors to strategize messaging for external and internal delivery, create compelling customer experiences through innovative staging and media and with our senior executives on delivery of those messages.
Most recently I have spearheaded an internal effort to run all of our meetings as green meetings and to continue to strategize on how to be more sustainable across our events portfolio.
I also work internally with a group looking at how to incorporate current social networking methodologies and tools into our marketing mindset and activities.
