About Kelly Pozda

Rooted in creativity, driven by strategy, and powered by relationships. Whether I’m curating unforgettable experiences, leading with intention in cybersecurity, or sparking human-centered conversations on my Humans of Tech podcast, I bring energy and connection to everything I do. I specialize in marketing that isn’t just memorable but meaningful. From launching culture-first programs to redefining what “partner engagement” looks like, I believe branding is belonging, and good culture should never be accidental. Outside of work, you’ll find me in a spin class like it’s a competitive sport, designing over-the-top charcuterie boards, and saying yes to just about any farmers market or live event that gets people together.
