I possess a unique balance of technical understanding, customer focus, marketing fundamentals, and communication skills, which enables me to present complex product information in a straightforward fashion.

Project: Healthcare Executive Event

 

Working closely with TIBCO’s Chief Healthcare Strategist, I managed an invitation-only gathering of executives and industry leaders focused on transforming the healthcare industry through modern technology solutions.


Result:

  • The Healthcare Industry Transformation Project event directly resulted in two major new customer sales and produced other top-quality sales leads with accelerated sales cycles.

Project:  Personalized Business Banking Campaign

 

I created a direct marketing campaign supporting a network of 650 business banking relationship managers.  This campaign incorporated a personalized letter with an offer for a free Business Valuation Report.  To obtain their report, prospects were required to have a face-to-face meeting with a banker.
 

Results:

  • 25% Response Rate: In-person appointments with 5,000 new prospects.
  • Generated $570,000 in annual profit, at total program cost of $70,000.
  • Exceeded program goal by 50%.

Project:  Event Management - TIBCO User Conference



I led critical aspects of TIBCO’s customer conference, the company’s premier annual marketing event, attracting more than 2,000 attendees.  I managed a 3-day track of industry-focused customer presentations and coordinated more than 75 technical demonstrations from resources across the globe. 

​

Results:

  • Introduction of Event Driven Healthcare was one among highest rated and best attended sessions of user conference.
  • Solutions Showcase received excellent reviews from attendees and TIBCO management team.

 

Project: Tradeshow Marketing



I led a team of 15 in preparation for the company’s presence at major industry tradeshows, including HIMSS and AHIP.  These responsibilities included defining core messaging, developing product demonstration scripting, and managing booth logistics.


Result:

  • Provided more than two dozen qualified leads to sales team directly related to tradeshow activities.
  • Educated national sales team on healthcare vertical messaging, providing foundation for increased sales and pipeline for the vertical.

 

Project:  Global Sales Enablement Campaign

Working closely with Paris-based software architects, I created a sales enablement campaign to bring to market the TIBCO’s Telecommunication Fulfillment Orchestration Suite product.


I researched the telecommunications industry and competitors, distilled TIBCO’s product capabilities into a concise messaging document, and provided detailed scripting and sales collateral materials.

 

Result: 

  • Educated global team of Account Development Executives for targeted, sales campaign.​

Project:  Team TIBCO Challenge

 

I led the project to stabilize and operationalize a technical demonstration which leverages the company's sponsorship of a world-class women's professional cycling team to showcase TIBCO technology through an interactive cycling challenge for the company's exhibit at trade shows and conferences.



Prior to my leadership and hands-on involvement, the demo was unstable and often failed.  I defined business requirements, secured programming resources, oversaw testing, and drove the project to completion.

 

Result: 

  • Established a 'must-see' technical demonstration which is the hit of any trade show exhibit space, and has been used at several conferences to generate booth traffic and showcase TIBCO technology.
  • Mended relationship between TIBCO and the cycling team, which had been strained by the technical instability of the demo.
Product Development:  Premier Client Credit Card

 

I led the development and launch of a new credit card product targeted at the bank's highest value retail banking customer segment.

Based on customer preference information from surveys and focus groups, I defined product requirements and led system set-up and testing to ensure flawless operational performance.

I led the launch of the product through Direct Mail, Digital Marketing, and Retail Branch channels.



Identifying Market Trends:  Biosimilars

 

Identifying a market trend of new competition for biologic therapies in the pharmaceutical industry, I suggested focusing one of our company's market research summit events to focus on obtaining physicians' perspective on anticipated changes to treatment patterns from these new products.

I also coordinated a presentation by a panel of experts at a major international academic conference in Vienna to gain pharmaceutical industry perspective.

This research will arm us with insights and provide credibility to position our team as thought leaders in this emerging space.
