I work in Silicon Valley as a marketing professional.  I specialize in technology because I love technology.  While I have an engineering background, I’ve gravitated to marketing because it allows me to work on technology creatively.   It’s not that engineering isn’t creative – just not my thing.  I’ve found that having a technical background helps me parse most technical topics which is useful in SV since I would find it difficult to market something I don’t understand.

I’ve been through the .com boom &  bust (what a ride!),  survived the housing boom & crash, and it looks like another bubble is brewing over social media.  It should be interesting…again.
