Kelly Hopping

I am passionate about building world class teams, empowering up-and-coming future leaders to thrive, growing quality brands, and leading businesses through change and acceleration. As an experienced business executive and marketing leader, I have had the opportunity to develop multiple marketing and business strategies across IT, including cloud, SaaS, and services.

I pride myself on strategic thinking, results-driven execution, operational efficiency, and effective cross-functional management. I believe that in the absence of product knowledge or expertise, brands are a surrogate for quality and that our job as marketers is to make products accessible to customers.

Personally, I am inspired by strong women in business and entrepreneurs who have a story to tell. I am also an advocate for managing a well-rounded life, not just a job, as I think that is the rising tide that lifts all boats at home and in the workplace. I believe the rat race of go-go-go is not sustainable and often interferes with the best ideas. I am a die-hard achiever who is learning that taking a minute to think can exponentially increase the efficiency of achievement!
