Sr Director of Customer Success & Head of Learning and Development
Corelight
March 2024 - Present
While maintaining the same presence within Customer Success, I am also working with the People team to build out a Learning & Development department (dual role). Tasked with building a learning vision and strategy, I am implementing learning plans for managers, leaders and ICs. As a credentialed ICF coach and a certified DiSC facilitator, I'm continuing to coach internally 1:1 as well as running the company slowly through DiSC.

Chief of Staff
Riverbed
August 2017 - August 2019
Worked in a role created for me, reporting to GM of the Cloud Infrastructure BU. I drove strategic initiatives throughout the entire organization, focusing on Product Management and Engineering, but definitely put in my time with Product Marketing, Support, Sales, Tech Marketing, and more. I also participated in major process improvement initiatives working with Sr. Management to improve vision, organizational and communications strategies. I delved into the world of financial planning, HR activities, and coaching (up and down), which resulted in streamlined communications in and outbound to the GM.

Global Project Manager, Office of the CTO
Riverbed
March 2014 - July 2017
In 2014, the Global Consulting Engineers (a group of pre-sales product experts), who became the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) in the Office of the CTO (in 2015) took me in as their own private writer to continue working on the Deployment Guides. But I quickly morphed and grew the role to its end form. In this role, I acted as the CTO Spokesperson, working with the Senior and Executive team to establish and manage operational process and procedures. I partnered with Field Enablement on educational initiatives, which included driving strategy through content in Technical Sales Tech Summits (300+ participants), Sales Kick Off (1000+). I also had my hands deep in coordination and delivery of technical training for product releases. I drove cross-functional/CTO integration planning and communications, which led to greater product adoption in the field and increased sales. I contributed in developing strategic sales communications for three SE Technical Summits and two Sales Kickoffs, establishing consistent, cohesive, and compelling messaging for field to use in client communications. GLOBAL PROJECT DIRECTOR, ATG, OFFICE OF THE CTO - May 2016 - Jul 2017 GLOBAL PROJECT DESIGN MANAGER, ATG, OFFICE OF THE CTO - Aug 2015 - Apr 2016 GLOBAL CONSULTING ENGINEER, CONTENT MANAGER - Mar 2014 - Jul 2015 Project Management, Cross-functional Team Leadership and +3 skills
Technical Publications Manager
Riverbed
August 2009 - March 2014
I started at Riverbed as a Sr. Technical Writer, but advanced quickly to Manager. I co-managed the group of 10 to set department standards and processes, and was the primary lead working with the Global Consulting Engineers (GCEs), a group of Riverbed pre-sales experts, to create Riverbed Deployment Guides (RDG). The RDG was the #1 downloaded guide by customers and used internally as one of the best training tools. As well, I initiated meetings between other groups, to make sure writing of all types (Technical Marketing, Product Marketing, etc.) were using the same branding and naming conventions.
