I am seeking full-time employment on a Director or VP level to manage community strategy and operations for one or more well-known brand names. I am interested in leveraging my experience in community and social media to create holistic community strategies that include host-site communities and events, as well as a presence on Twitter, Facebook, Get Satisfaction, and other community sites and virtual worlds that fit the company’s goals and strategies. I enjoy attending and presenting at internet and community conferences, and would like to continue to attend/present at several conferences per year. I am also available for up to 50% travel.
