About Lakshmi Hari

I believe there is nothing more powerful than a well-told story and nothing more fulfilling than creating and sharing a product that brings joy to customers. Two of the many reasons why I love and breathe marketing. With over 15 years of experience as a results-oriented strategic marketer, I have launched and promoted a wide range of global products and services from the Fortune 500 to a fast growing tech start-up. I have successfully addressed traditional and digital marketing challenges from improving site traffic to launching a $100M product line drawing upon what I like to call my yin & yang skills of marketing - analytical with data and creative with insights, a strategic thinker who can execute effortlessly, someone who can remain long-term focused while delivering short term impact. My strengths include taking control of a situation, asking the right questions and making sound decisions, pushing myself and others around me to be the best, leveraging the power of the team and delivering impact. I am motivated by challenges, fueled by deadlines, and strive for impact. The work environment where I thrive is fast paced, collaborative, values ideas no matter where they are from and inspires curiosity and innovation. I seek opportunities where I can bring my diverse experience, passion for marketing and drive to create impact to a business/product that is at the forefront of innovation.
