About Margaret Todd
What I do:
Director of Marketing - I handle a little bit (and sometimes a lot) of everything in the marketing department.
Interestingly, I have been around the block, so to speak, at Infragistics, for quite a few years. I started working for this company after about 12 years working in Advertising, presumably for a career change. I began in Developer Support working for ProtoView, supporting ActiveX and Java (minimally on Java). Eventually, I was promoted to Manager of the Developer Support Department.
Concurrently, ProtoView was merging with Sheridan and my previous experience was summoned to help our in-house Marketing department during the merge. So I balanced the demands of those responsibilities for some time. All the while, I watched my Developer Support Department grow, and saw so many in my department get promoted and really take off in their careers, much to the chagrin of our customers who really seemed to pick favorites in the support department. I can't say how proud I am of the people who have moved through the support department - hiring diamonds in the rough, and many of them now shining bright in our R&D. (Perhaps it is the 'mom' in me...)
In between, I have also held extraneous 'extra' duties - such as administration of the phone system, formulating Product Lifecycle schedules, QA, Recruiting, Employee Development, MS Certification Programs, our MS Gold Partner Achievement, and probably more. Such is the way within a growing company, after all, if you want something done, ask a busy person. These experiences and opportunities have well-rounded my Infragistics experience and knowledge on many levels.
So - here I am now - coming interestingly full circle back to a career I presumably left - in Marketing. With the continued growth and prosperity at Infragistics, I really am enjoying this new challenge. Or - is it just a fresh perspective on a familiar problem?
So that's who I am here, and yes, I dig this place.
