Today I’ll introduce you to a marketing director whose staff praise her for her use of storytelling and dedicated support  of their career growth and development.  She’s been able to include and align with other internal teams to drive synergy and lift financial results on a repeated basis … and she’s done it in agency, corporate and start-up environments. She’s here today to share some stories from her own people management journey and discuss why trust from the top-down drives better outcomes.

I’ve invited Molly to the ManagerMirror because alumni of her teams repeatedly credit her for career development and she’s quick to articulate how she places people first!  After graduating from George Washington University, Molly started as a copywriter working at several advertising firms before landing in a Marketing Content Manager role with Silicon Valley startup, TrustedID in 2011.  After the Equifax acquisition of TrustedIDin 2013, she spent six years honing her partnership  and product marketing skills with enterprise clients, transitioning to a leadership role along the way.  Following Equifax, she served as Director of Marketing with Mutual Mobile, and Springbox/Prophet, building teams and developing SOP through rapid growth.  In April of 2020, Molly became the Director of Marketing at Ava Robotics in Cambridge, Massachusetts where she’s pioneering creative ways to adapt her communications and relationship-building experience to the hot field of robotics. She’s here today to share tips and experience from leading people in all these unique settings!  Follow Molly on LinkedIn to stay current with her robotics industry content and leadership insights.
