Leigh Anne Winters Dunkin’s Summary
My career path hasn't been typical, but the journey has included opportunities to experience a wide range of companies. I helped build a hugely successful start-up, worked for the Federal government and authored visionary, lens-shifting missions for the largest tech company in the world! Having successfully communicated effective messages, led and worked in teams in varied markets, experienced multifarious business models and, most importantly, engaged with and managed a wide range of people (including brilliant, world-class colleagues), my ability to creatively problem solve and offer unique perspectives and actionable solutions is well developed.
I’m an IT security and digital media professional with highly developed communication skills, direction, and determination. My experience with digital media forensics has allowed me to hone my analytical skills, while my roles as a Communication Manager, Implementation Consultant and Program Manager have given me the opportunity to lead people and manage tasks on various projects, build relationships, create and design products, adeptly communicate highly technical messages, set realistic expectations, and deliver on those expectations. Therefore, my goal is to leverage this varied and complex background as a web analyst in the web analytics space.
