Q&A Interview:

As a Business Manger, what do you do for your clients? My main responsibility is developing and maintaining successful relationships with Red Door’s clients. I like to think of myself as the ambassador for the client, always keeping their business goals top of mind and ensuring that their strategies are clear to our internal teams.

What do you like to do when you’re not working with clients to improve their online presence? When I’m not working hard for Red Door’s clients, I’m thinking about them during my long runs. I just completed my fourth half marathon in June along with 4 fellow RDIers and I’m taking suggestions for the next one. Anyone want to join me?

What excites you about the interactive marketing space? It never ceases to impress me. There’s always a new technology around the corner or a better way of doing things. I’m lucky that the experts at Red Door share my excitement for new ideas.

What is your favorite local spot to hangout? I love the new Wine Steals at Petco Park. Just a short walk from the office and they usually have a nice Malbec at a great price.

As a Business Manager, you are often juggling a lot, how do you manage all of your duties? Organization is a Business Manager’s best friend. Oh, and color coding; someone said that my Outlook calendar looked like a rainbow the other day. It may not make sense to you, but I promise there’s a method to my organizational madness.

You win millions in the lottery, what do you do? Travel. I kind of do that anyway, but it would be nice to do it in first-class style.  And I’d buy Red Door a printer that wouldn’t quit at the most crucial moments. Needless to say, the printer and I are not exactly friends.

What is one piece of technology that you cannot live without? My iPhone. It’s definitely more of a lifeline than a phone. And how else would I beat my fellow RDIers at Words with Friends?
