Katie Ray, MBA — VP of Marketing
Hey there! If you are reading this-welcome! I've had a pretty fun career (so far) learning about community, sales, marketing, business, and myself. From those experiences, I have learned that customers need to be your main priority, how to be a consultant, and what it's like sticking true to your "why". I've been fortunate enough to work closely with marketing to create strategic campaigns and produce content that attract customers at the right time. I've been able to help grow and engage with a community that teaches me something new, every day. I earned my MBA a few years ago, and am so thrilled to be able to take so much of what I've learned and apply it to my everyday. In my free-time, I enjoy long walks at Costco with my husband, and playing with my energetic doggos. Ever want to chat community or need advisement for consulting?
