About Sydney Hill Nordquist

Hey, I\'m Sydney * I post learning insights for L&D professionals, all things content marketing, and anything to do with working moms.I’m the Director of Content + Community at Maestro, a learning innovation company, and the founder of syd.nord. Whether it’s connecting learning leaders to inspiring resources or helping working moms experience more joy and less overwhelm, I feel incredibly grateful that I get to create positive change through all of my work.I’m incredibly passionate about the power of content. Dreaming up amazing content ideas lights me up—and I swear my brain thinks in blog-post titles and download ideas. I’ve served on the Maestro team for more than ten years, allowing me to help shape our company vision, mission, core values, and market positioning. I lead our content and community efforts, which is primarily relationship building. I spend a lot of time identifying our audience’s passions, needs, and pain points and matching those with meaningful content opportunities that help learning professionals grow. I also serve on the Leadership and Core Leadership teams as the Community lead. Even after the work day ends, I can’t stop creating content—I founded syd.nord to help other working moms implement plans, systems, and tools to help them live full lives with less stress and more joy.I hold a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and an M.S. in Marketing and Management, and I was a D1 volleyball player at The University of Virginia (wahoowa!)—Charlottesville is still one of my favorite places in the entire world. I\'m a girl-mom x3 and I\'m happiest when I’m spending time outside with my girls, my husband, and our dog Miles—who has more Instagram followers than me, by the way (@milesoberlin). I believe movement is medicine, especially when you’re living the work-from-home life.(Yes, I’m that girl that walks about 90 miles a month on my walking pad while working). A few of my favorite things: Thai food, Nutella, and a cozy, oversized crew neck sweatshirt. Don’t know Maestro yet? We’re your wildly intelligent, equally humble, and down-to-earth L&D best friend. I love welcoming learning leaders into the Maestro community and showing them all the ways we’re disrupting traditional learning through bold, innovative solutions. If you’re curious about us, or just want someone to brainstorm with, drop me a note! Message me here or email me at s•••••@maestrolearning.com and let’s chat!
