ABOUT ANNA B.
With over five years of experience in business development, marketing, and project management, I am passionate about creating and strengthening strategic partnerships that advance the mission and vision of the University of Waterloo Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute (CPI). CPI is a leading research and innovation hub that addresses the most pressing challenges and opportunities in cybersecurity and privacy. As a Business Development Manager, I leverage my skills in relationship building, communication, and negotiation to identify, engage, and collaborate with potential and existing partners from industry, government, and academia. I also design and implement effective B2B marketing strategies and campaigns that showcase CPI\'s cutting-edge research, education, and outreach programs. Additionally, I manage and coordinate various projects and initiatives that support CPI\'s growth and sustainability. Some of my recent achievements include securing a large contract with a major financial institution, launching a successful online event series with international speakers and attendees, and facilitating multiple cross-disciplinary collaborations within and outside the university.
