Founder and CEO

DLA ignite

Social media has changed the world. 

DLA Ignite is transforming businesses around the world through social media. 

Their vision and methodology for social strategy, virtual networking and relationship building, and business transformation perfectly complement our expertise in developing virtual growth experiences. 

We believe that the most excellent use of technology is enabling more authentic human-to-human connections.

It is a pleasure to offer DLA Ignite’s proven social enablement programs through best-in-class collaborative learning technology.

Strategic social selling improves the customer experience through authentic and meaningful conversations.

Helping B2B sales leaders create digital culture means that we’re building the social organization, closing the distance between clients, prospects, remote employees, and potential recruits. 

B2B sales leaders must lead sellers across the organization, and sellers must engage in conversations authentically. We’re building the platform that helps you to dominate in this new environment.

Before we dominate, we have to change. Change takes time. 

For traditional B2B sales teams, authentic conversations mean modern buyers help prospects make sense of conflicting information. 

Authentic conversations mean your customer success team listens to the customer after their purchase for increased customer satisfaction and potentially new revenue opportunities. 

Authentic conversations mean employees share your organization’s purpose beyond its produces and services to recruit and retain talent. 

Training your employees to engage on social media and increase their influence through authentic and meaningful conversations means you’re closing the distance between clients, prospects, remote employees, and potential recruits.

Strategic social selling means investing in your people for competitive advantage.

The Half Percent Project

When I was 8, I had a dog. His name was Brutus. One day, I came home from school to find that my mom sent him away to be with Jesus. After 25 years, my trauma ended when we adopted our dog, Sadie, from the shelter. One year later, Sadie was joined by Andy. After 15 years, they're both gone. But my love for them remains.  I'm helping the Half Percent Project, a non-profit to encourage wealthy philanthropists to donate a half percent of their giving to animals because we can do a lot better by them.

Board Member

ET Business Solutions

Joined the family business to help out Dad. We had different ideas. I did what I could to turn it around. Eventually, I increased revenue to seven figures. But, the business model wasn't sustainable. As I struggled with the realities of entrepreneurship, I discovered I needed to level up and find an opportunity where I could build a legacy. That's when a rare opportunity set me on the path to where I am today. That was the best thing that came out of this experience.

Chief Executive Officer

The Children's Place

Lasting growth comes from our greatest challenges. The Children's Place is where I faced some of my most significant struggles as a young executive. The company was in crisis during most of my tenure. During this period of uncertainty, my lack of leadership training revealed the constraints on my ability to go farther in my career. 

Self-awareness, humility, empathy, and growth mindset would have helped me to be a better, more productive teammate. The seeds of my personal and professional transformation were sown here. Today, I reap the rewards.

Participating in hundreds of Board meetings and decision-making at the highest levels, I observed how an inspiring founder could motivate enthusiasm and loyalty, as well as how a self-serving executive could wreak havoc, demoralizing many—a lifetime of lessons learned in a short time frame.

Trusted C- Level Advisor

Kelley Drye & Warren LLP

Kelley Drye is where I got my first real taste of business. 

Our client, a Rustbelt manufacturer in the steel industry supply chain with global operations, was in the process of transforming its operation to modernize and prepare for new applications. The CFO was negotiating a cutting-edge business process arrangement with one of Canada's largest technology providers. But, the negotiations were at an impasse. I was called in to "see what I could do."

It quickly became clear that we needed to overcome cultural differences and a language barrier to finish the deal. I was able to bridge the communication gap by interpreting what the French Canadians meant and not just listening to the words they used.

Both companies offered me jobs. The CFO also recommended a book for me to read called The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt. The principles explained in that book stuck with me so much that I've internalized them and apply them to my worldview.

Life is about overcoming the point of constraint. You can't grow past it no matter how skilled you are in other areas. Focus on removing the most immediate constraint to keep growing.

Account Manager

Oil & Gas UK

I wanted to work for OGUK because it is the leading representative body for the UK offshore oil and gas industry. I had worked for not-for-profit organisations and enjoyed the work, and I liked that OGUK was assisting the UK offshore energy industry, because I love Aberdeen want it to stay a business hub of the future.
I worked with my team and colleagues to create quality copy and post for social media to attract new members. I was responsible for both growth and retention.
I began work March 2, 2020, and by the end of the month was working from home in my new role.
I had to use everything virtual to learn how to do my job, including social media.
When I was going to consult with a new company, or meet with a current member, I used their websites, LInked In, and any other information I could find to do my research on the people in the organisation and the organisation itself.
I became adept at social media use and research, especially to promote our own events and to introduce myself to other people in the industry.

Member Relations Adviser

Cibo Aberdeen

I LOVE to cook, and I love to eat. I wanted to work from home, and I wanted to share my passion for food with people. 
I had been suffering with some health issues, fibromyalgia and vertiginous migraines, so it was better for me to work from home and on my own schedule.
I've always wanted my own business, and friends had been telling me for years to open a restaurant. I wasn't ready to do that, but I thought a catering company was a start.
I think the best kind of food is healthy and tasty homemade food, and I figured other people would enjoy that too. I prepared a few types of menus: a regular menu, a gluten free menu, a vegan menu, and a keto menu. The keto and vegan items became the most popular, and another hit item was my gluten free pumpkin bread.
I promoted with social media posts on Facebook and Instagram, and did a small local paid advertising campaign, I wrote stories about my family, our food history, and attended local markets and businesses with samples.
As much as I enjoyed this line of work, I found it difficult to prepare everything on my own. When orders increased, it was difficult to keep up with demand.
I hope to return to this line of work in the future, but it is still my favourite hobby. I still create new recipes and host tons of dinner parties. I post healthy food and cooking tips on Instagram, and tons of my social media shows my food pics. I'm happy to chat food any time.

Owner

StellasVoiceUK

I've always volunteered and think it's important to promote charities. That combined with my love of retail make working as the Store Manager for Stella's Voice a great opportunity.
I really enjoy working with people, and I got to know so much of the community working on the shop on King Street. I had a team of volunteers and a part time Assistant Manager, so it was a lot of hard work. I was on my feet running around all day, but the days went really quickly and every day was different.
I rearranged the store to make it look like a boutique, the staff and I deep cleaned the shop, stripped the old carpet, and painted the wood floor so it looked like an upscale retail shop. We had epic window displays, and I shared our displays all over social media. We increased sales, were constantly processing donations, had an incredibly successful Christmas campaign and people donated hundreds of gifts and goods for the children of Moldova. The purpose of Stella's Voice is to raise funds to help protect and educate the youth of Moldova, which is an area that is vulnerable to human trafficking.
I was proud to work for the store, and was able to raise their profile using social media. We hosted a Sip and Paint Fundraiser that we promoted on Facebook, and it was a big success.

Store Manager

DC Thomson Media 

After completing a Master's degree in Communication in California, I returned to Florida to live near my family and got a job as an Sales Representative for an advertising publication. 
When I heard there was an opportunity to work with the Press and Journal in the Advertising department, I thought it would be great for me to get back into the advertising and sales world and to possibly work my way up in DC Thomson.  
I was the Sales Administrator for the Advertising Sales team. It was a frantic pace, and I was constantly communicating with the sales reps and the customers. I spent hours on a computer doing data entry and prepping adverts.
I held a fundraiser for MacMillan Cancer Support and that was great for fun and team building in the department.
I worked next to the person that did the research for marketing and social media, but the digital transformation for the paper was slow moving. 
I would have stayed on, but I developed vestibular migraines and could not work on the computer continuously anymore. It was good to be around advertising and sales again, but unfortunately medical issues forced me to have to leave the position.

Sales Administrator

The Scottish Parliament

I was ready to leave Honda for working a job in the community, and I applied for a role working with an MSP in Aberdeen.
I became a Caseworker for Scottish Parliament, and my job was to help people in the community who were having various issues. I assisted constituents by writing on their behalf to city councils, phoning utility companies, getting down to the root issues of why something hadn't been taken care of.
I worked and lived in Rosemount, and got to know the members and businesses in that community. 
I was trained at Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, and got the inside tour of Holyrood.
I met a number of MSPs who have not become MPs, and it's exciting to watch them progress in their careers.
I used a CRM  system to enter the different cases, the people, the issues, and the progress on the issues. I learned the ins and outs of local and national government and got to know so many people in the 
Aberdeen area. I learned about industries in the area, and the local media outlets.
This was perhaps my most educational job in Aberdeen, and it was both an honour and privilege to work for Scottish government.
Eventually the MSP I worked for moved on to work for Parliament. I left the job and was interested in working in sales and marketing again.

Caseworker

Honda

I had a Honda Accord for years, and have always been a fan of this brand.
I moved to Aberdeen and immediately began the job hunt. I had never been involved the Oil and Gas industry, and Aberdeen had just experienced a major crash in that industry.
I went to a recruitment company, and they were able to set me up an interview with Honda for the following day.
My first official day working for Honda was attending the Alford Car Show to show Honda cars and to do data capture for the company. It was a very exciting day. I met loads of people in the car industry and got to see so many classic and modern cars.
I was trained by the management team, sold a car while still in my probationary period, and was selling cars and earing commission quickly out of my training period. I continued to do local car show and was always number one in data capture. 
I put every event and every car sale on social media.
It was good to be back in sales, but when the opportunity came up to work for Scottish Parliament, I could not resist.

Sales Representative

As a seasoned Business Consultant, my expertise lies in crafting strategic communication and marketing solutions that resonate with both internal and external stakeholders. Harnessing over three years of experience at my current role, I've honed my skills in developing comprehensive communication plans, with a keen focus on enhancing company image and meeting organizational objectives.

Previously, as a Business Development Manager, I excelled in fostering new business through networking and partnerships, which significantly raised the organizational profile and revenue. My approach blends social media savviness and a consultative sales practice, ensuring robust client relationships and a deep understanding of diverse market sectors. Our team's efforts were pivotal in creating content that strategically aligned with company goals, driving leads, and cultivating a culture of growth.
