Q. What do you do at Harte-Hanks and what office do you work out of?

A. I manage global relationships with several large technology companies across the entire direct marketing portfolio of Harte-Hanks. This includes data, data hygiene, database creation, agency and demand programs, analytics, content, creative, toolset management, contact center services, direct mail, fulfillment and more. Most importantly, I support the integration of these solutions to meet the needs and challenges of the clients I support. I like to think of myself as a B2B direct marketing consultant more than anything else. I work with very senior marketing executives and design strategic solutions that touch just about every part of their marketing infrastructure and organization. I'm based in Austin, TX and travel frequently to client sites and other Harte-Hanks locations.

Q. Why did you decide to join Harte-Hanks and how long have you been with us?

A. I was working as a Sales Director for The Aberdeen Group when it was acquired by Harte-Hanks in 2006. I've been with Harte-Hanks ever since.

Q. What keeps you at Harte-Hanks -- what do you like the best about what you do?

A. It takes a long time to truly understand the broad scope and depth of everything Harte-Hanks does. But once you do - it's staggering. There's always something impressive being developed and always opportunity to get involved. It's a company which truly encourages you to be creative, vocal and provides the opportunity for growth to anyone who earns it. I've been here for over 5 years and I've had 4 roles in that time - each more strategic and involving more responsibility than the last. I've had the opportunity to develop new products and work with (and learn from) truly amazing people. My clients are thrilled with our services and as a result it's easy to build and grow relationships. There's a lot that keeps me here.

Q. What message would you like to give to candidates who are considering joining Harte-Hanks?

A. This company isn't perfect - but no company is. If you want to work with really intelligent people who "truly" understand direct marketing, have solutions that deliver genuine value to your customers, and quite literally endless opportunity for personal growth - this is a great place to work.
