  • Jan 2011 - Apr 2021

  I believe that AR is as much an internal function as it is an external function. It is building bridges between executives, companies and analysts. Analysts influence IT purchase decisions and are an important part of every sales cycle. After the Passlogix acquisition was completed by Oracle I decided to focus my career as a Director of Analyst Relations. As part of Oracle's award winning AR team, I manage the strategic relationships with analysts from firms such as Gartner, Forrester, IDC, Ovum and more.I am responsible for building a comprehensive and strategic plan for my solution areas within Oracle. I manage all faucets of each AR plan from preparing new initiatives , building relationships internally and externally to working closely with executives to align goals with sales targets. Briefings, strategy days, inquiries, events, research summaries, understanding research calendars and relationship building are all key parts of each plan. AR is about understanding your company and how analysts work with their clients to match priorities and goals. Show less
