About Ashleigh Hotz

I am loving what we do at SmartSolve - we\'re bringing environmentally friendly, water soluble raw materials to consumer packaged goods brands and other industrial applications. Every time our material is adopted as an alternative to traditional plastic packaging materials. an angel gets its wings, a baby giggles, and the Earth gives a tip of the hat (just kidding!). But seriously, it makes you feel like you\'re a part of something bigger than yourself. A little about me and my professional career: I have over ten years of experience consulting with business leaders to develop growth strategies in sales and marketing. Early on in my career, much of my focus was on corporate identity systems and design, however, over time and with more exposure to various business models, I became more engaged in the overall go-to-market strategy and the integration of sales and marketing functions. I am passionate about my faith, family, and the freedoms we all enjoy in the United States.
