About Colleen Bogner

I’m a people-first leader passionate about crafting impactful experiences, building lasting relationships, and driving engagement through connection and strategy.As the Sales & Experience Manager at Haddy, I get to blend creativity and systems thinking to support client growth and brand engagement. I manage key sales accounts, execute on sales playbooks, and help bring Haddy’s vision to life through immersive factory tours, high-impact events, and tailored outreach campaigns. It’s where client curiosity meets community connection—and I get to help it grow.I believe engagement is where process meets heart. Whether I’m building out a product catalog, contributing to go-to-market strategies, or walking clients through the magic of additive manufacturing, my goal is the same: to make people feel seen, heard, and excited about what’s possible.I bring a background in client training, communications, and business operations, and an insatiable curiosity for what makes people tick. From waitressing and working on horse farms to leading in financial services and insurance, I’ve always been the “go-to” person—driven to help teams and clients succeed.I’m energized by change and improvement. I love facilitating learning, galvanizing people around ideas, and finding unexpected ways to spark connection. Humor, joy, and curiosity are part of my toolkit—and I believe they’re key to authentic engagement.I\'m always excited to meet people who care about doing things better.
