A New Stage, A New Role

随着你的成长，知道何时才能摆脱自己的方式是有好处的。花费重要的“母公司，Azul Partners，在过去五年中一直在一个强大的两位数剪辑，近年来迅速加速。尽管几年前踩到了展示了展示的展示，但为丽莎雷斯坦提供首席执行官缰绳，我仍然在运行商业方面发挥积极作用。

今天，我宣布我正在为本公司和花费的新角色，我所知道的一个人将使公司及其客户受益。我作为董事总经理退回了我的职位，在那里我，也许是我们的主要公众面孔，并指定一个新的商业服务团队来运行我们的外部专注的活动。我们公司的戏剧性增长是导致这一变化，这支新团队由保罗马田和希萨史密斯（Sheena Smith）收取，非常适合发展现有业务线的任务。

Instead, I’ll serve as Head of Strategy, directing more of our internal research and content to focus on the needs of the practitioner. This will not only make me more effective but also give me an opportunity to do much more of what I enjoy:

• Spending more time supporting, shepherding and mentoring our amazing analyst and editorial teams to ensure our customers receive the best possible content. This is my top priority!
• 潜入公司财务（始终是我的激情，尽管在后台持续了几年），以支持我们自己的增长并为他人制定解决方案
• Delving into public, mission-driven and social sector procurement challenges by taking an active role in公共花店论坛as we ramp up activities with the goal of redefining how these organizations procure additional value for constituents, members and those whose lives they touch
• Working closely with our affiliate sites, such as贸易融资Matters, which cover topics that I believe will play an absolutely critical role in shaping the future of procurement and supply chain
• 更多地与咨询公司和从业机构联系，其中信息交流和集体学习的机会最高
• Providing our largest technology clients with research and advisory
• Supporting a very select group of early stage technology companies with disruptive potential

So there you have it. I had to pen this because I know at least half of my fellow “Spendies” would not believe it unless I did. As we rocket past 30 people on the team, it’s clear to me where I can be most effective. The changes announced today are designed to speed our efforts and help transform the digital B2B media and research markets while continuing to help our customers spend better.
