About Moi
Hello! Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Kenya Ford, and I liken myself to being an Olivia Pope-type in the marketing operation management world. People rely on me to handle complex, highly visible company initiatives and deliver successful business outcomes. I have over 18 years of experience in client services, program/project management, marketing, brand awareness, leadership development, and organizational change management.
As a trusted people leader, I'm delighted to share my unique creative approach to marketing operations plus authentic leadership, which enhances team performance and quickly brings innovative strategies to the market faster while collaborating in a virtual environment.
Star Trek Makes Me a Better Person, It's All True
My love for Star Trek reflects my ability to appreciate a journey and explore unknown worlds and cultures. This relates to who I am because of my curiosity and sense of adventure in taking on new challenges that begin as uncharted paths. The thrill of figuring out is exhilarating and allows me to continue to learn and sharpen my skills.
Reading thought-provoking books, engaging in online retail therapy, and watching a great movie also allow me a temporary escape. These mediums hold a mirror for me to see my reflection in their colors and layers of the narrative or the characters. Although I am serious about my work, I don't take who I am too seriously. I have the best belly laughs at myself. My antics and honest thoughts are truly sitcom-worthy. Watch out, Shonda Rhimes!
My Curiosity Expands with Challenge
Seeking out the more intricate opportunities piques my problem-solving curiosity. It segues into my natural ability to see the big picture and details to achieve overarching goals.
My expertise and training are founded on creative principles, digital marketing strategy, customer experience, and program management. I see my performance as the liaison who effectively bridges communication between multiple stakeholder groups to leading a team that delivers a service or product that transforms the organization's growth in the market.
If you've read to this point, please know it's been wonderful to share part of who I am with you. Feel free to contact me via LinkedIn; I am available for full-time or contract opportunities.
