Teri Ross’s Summary

I drive revenue by assisting clients in improving the return on investment for their marketing dollars. At the core of my deliverable is the business intelligence gleaned through the use of web analytics that facilitate the ability for clients to make key business decisions based upon fact, not opinion. I utilize a strategy that supports the ability to integrate both offline and online marketing initiatives, giving clients real-time business intelligence as it relates to their marketing initiatives.

With both technical and creative skills, I am adept at orchestrating the tenuous relationship between IT and marketing. I am adept at building credibility in both departments, while delivering highly sought after business intelligence that is designed to drive revenue.

My capabilities are a result of various roles within my career that have included business development, information technology and marketing. I have strong strategic marketing, consulting, and research skills. Leveraging these skills, along with my critical thinking, communication, presentation, and problem-solving abilities, I will improve any organization’s ability to compete. I have successful management, leadership, and customer relationship experience and have consistently formulated new paradigms to foster process improvement, unique client-specific solutions, and business efficiency.
