I actively work to make the marketing department collaborative and forward looking. Educate team on INFORMS’ mission and how their goals fit into company goals. Provide mentoring and training while nurturing and motivating team, thereby creating a challenging and enjoyable place where team is growing, learning, and feeling valued.
Example: Instituted a weekly creative meeting where the marketing team gets opportunity to share their work, receive constructive feedback, and brainstorm new solutions. Open-door policy to help team members work through challenges in a way that they feel empowered and supported.
