With more than 15 years of marketing and sales experience in the tech, consumer and non-profit industry, Suzanha Pena’s experiences expand from managing tech products (initial conception to release by working with engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing departments), sales management (calling on retailers such as Wal-mart, Target and K-mart) to marketing to mass mediums and donor appeals to the local community. She has directed promotional activities for product launches, managed media relations, developed and implemented events of all sizes, created advertising campaigns and worked with all print outlets.
Originally from Minnesota, Suzanha was lured to Austin, TX at the beginning of 2006 by the tech industry and immediately fell in love with the city and its weather. She realized she wanted to learn more about the city and to become more involved in the community. By early 2007, Suzanha took a position as the Director of Marketing for Goodwill Industries of Central Texas, the sixth largest non-profit organization and one of the larger employers in the Austin area. In this role, she directs and oversees a $46 million dollar organization’s marketing policies, objectives and initiatives.
Suzanha is a member of the Leadership Austin Essentials program, a ‘big’ for Big Brothers Big Sisters organization and volunteer with the Asian community network. Friend her on Facebook at Suzanha Pena.
