Gili Guri-Mill’s Summary

I love challenges and finding creative solutions to problems. I have a proven track record in leading successful projects, building business strategies, developing online marketing programs, and I am highly experienced in organizing international trade shows and seminars.
I worked for Check Point Software Technologies Ltd (www.checkpoint.com), in the Global Marketing department, located in Redwood City, CA. A significant part of my job was to organize and analyze the company’s leads coming from different web sources and to optimize our online campaigns. For that, I used Salesforce.com and SAP program. I supported the launching and organization of new webinars by the company. In addition, I worked with the US Eastern region’s sales managers on the upcoming exhibitions.
I worked also as a Project Manager and International Trade Shows Manager for Kata Vitec. (http://www.kata-bags.com). I worked closely with the marketing department, developed and managed all components of Online Marketing campaigns including creative (banners), landing page optimization and pricing negotiation. I analyzed campaign performance to identify, prioritize, and execute on opportunities for improvement in marketing effectiveness.
I worked closely with the distributors of the company from abroad to understand their needs and improve their satisfaction. I headed the strategy team for the company's new website and improved communication with product marketing and customers.
I earned my MBA summa cum laude, specializing in marketing and international strategy and a BA is in Economics and Business Management. I am on the Merage Fellows list and participated in their summer 2008 MBA Program in Irvine, CA (http://www.meragefoundations.com

I am excited about the many facets of the marketing and business world here in the bay area, and welcome the opportunity to discuss opportunities to explore
