She looked to an MBA from Anderson as a way to transition into the operational side of entertainment but the lure of technology drew her to Hewlett-Packard's digital photography group. After several roles in Marketing (Retail Programs, Consumer Communications, Strategic Planning, and Software Product Management) she most recently transitioned to the Notebook and PC Division's Innovation Program Office reporting to the Chief Technology Officer. There she drives organic growth for HP by investigating adjacent businesses which have the potential to grow into billion dollar businesses. "Innovation is possible everywhere but it is especially exciting in the technology sector. The lifecycles in the computing world are incredibly short and so the potential for major disruption is always just around the corner. The companies that can find the white spaces and meet unspoken wants and needs with a defendable, differentiated position are the ones that will continue to grow." |
