About Kalina Newmark
My philosophy is that great consumer experiences equal positive business results. This philosophy has guided my 10+ years of developing marketing strategies, leading cross functional teams and managing strategic customer partners.Weaving together this obsession with consumer behavior, I find it important to bring my Shúhtagot\'ı̨nę Dene and Métis values to the workplace. As an example, I incorporate Indigenous teachings by ensuring that each team member feels valued and knows that their contribution is helping us reach our goal. The idea of valuing each person at the same level is important to me.Outside of my professional pursuits, I love spending time with family in the Northwest Territories, hiking with my rescue pup and traveling to new places. A fun fact about me is that I am originally from a small town on the Arctic Ocean in Canada called Tuktoyaktuk where average winter temperatures dip to -22F/-30C.
