I worked with Cheryl while she was the VP of Product Management and Marketing at LRN. When Cheryl arrived she has a tremendous backlog of work, as there hadn’t been a VP of Marketing for some time, and our founder was launching his book. A tremendous workload, Cheryl handled it all amazingly well. The book was successfully launched. Cheryl then rebuilt the marketing department and quickly had the team delivering new materials and a re-launch of the company web-site with SEO and PPC. Cheryl took on product management and re-engineered our program, which is an immense content and product library. The marketing, product alignment, marketing staff production, search engine ranking for our web-site, lead generation, marketing program and the sales materials all benefited tremendously from Cheryl expertise, strategy, dynamic leadership, execution and tremendous work effort. The benefits of Cheryl’s work are still being enjoyed to this day. I applaud Cheryl’s ability, expertise, leadership and capacity as a marketing executive.
