Hireology Leadership & Management

Describe your new role. What does your day-to-day look like, and what are the biggest priorities you’re focused on addressing?

I have had the pleasure of leading our demand generation function for a few years at Hireology. Most recently we have pulled our product marketing team with the rest of marketing and staffed up our partner and events teams. These staffing and team changes reflect exciting things to come for our platform and the priorities for the business.

My day-to-day is all about how I can remove obstacles and provide direction to our fantastic marketing team to get the word about what Hireology has to offer our prospective customers. What is awesome about that is no two days have ever been the same. I get great joy out of the daily problems my team — and our collaborators at Hireology — gets to solve and the unique ways we try to reach different audiences.

What has your career journey looked like so far? What skills and/or experience are you bringing with you into your new role?

I am fortunate enough to have spent a large part of my career growing at Hireology. I started here to help us grow in one specific market given my experience in retail automotive with Cars.com, now Cars Commerce. Over time I have been able to take on more to help us grow beyond retail automotive and find unique ways to position Hireology. 

I think the most important thing that has carried me through at Hireology — and is important no matter where you are as a marketer — is that I have a true passion for this business. I believe that Hireology has a unique offering that not only solves a business problem for the markets we serve but can fundamentally make a difference in the lives of many. I love the businesses and partners we get to work with in automotive, hospitality and senior care. And moreover, I truly find myself fortunate that I get to call Hireology home due to the individuals I get to work in marketing, sales, operations, product, customer success, etc. We say this a lot but “I love what I do and I love who I do it with.”

What are you most excited to accomplish with your team over the next year?

Hireology is at an exciting time in our journey. In the last two years we have brought in a whole new research and development team to take our software to the next level. They have worked with our revenue teams to really understand not only what the customer wants today but anticipate what they’ll need in the future. With that understanding as a guidepost, our product roadmap is the most robust and game-changing I’ve seen in awhile. 

Additionally a dynamic set of leaders has joined the ranks of our revenue leadership team that is helping us build a best-in-class go-to-market team in the face of changing tech sales. We have added Emily Leu as our vice president of sales. Emily brings an extensive background in sales as a long-time leader, trainer and consultant and is elevating Hireology’s sales organization to outpace market trends.
