One of the best things about starting Squarevox is working with a team of some of the smartest people I’ve encountered in my marketing career. We’re a virtual organization; each of us has her or his own business, and we come together based on client needs to provide the right set of skills and experience for the challenges at hand.

It’s not a simple subcontracting setup; these are people who’ve been in the office next to me, who I’ve chatted with over by the coffee machine and been through good and bad times with in corporate settings. If you hire us, you’re hiring a cohesive team with years of history.

And it works well for our clients, who get to tap into deep resources without paying for the overhead of keeping all those people on staff. So let me introduce you a sharp bunch of marketing pros. In alphabetical order, of course.

With over 20 years experience in technology marketing, Maureen specializes in product marketing — making products and services easier to sell and easier to buy. Maureen has experience in the software and managed services industries, working at Interactive Data Corporation, Wang Labs, Softbridge, Genuity, and NaviSite.

A graduate of the Sloan School of Management at MIT, Maureen has varied experience in developing results-driven marketing plans, product requirements, working closely with all key constituencies (customers, product management, sales, marketing, support), messaging analysis/development, collateral/sales tools, product launches, and win-loss analysis of sales efforts.

Maureen believes that marketing’s job is to ensure products meet true market requirements; sales people are equipped to sell; and customers clearly understand what they’re buying (and why). Her marketing plans are created to align with overall strategy, budget parameters, and sales force expectations and consider press and analyst relations, advertising, lead generation, events, sales tools, training, collateral, interactive, and market research.
