Tanya recently started her career at Pitney Bowes - and is part of the strategy team focused on small business, which she is very excited about! Before that, Tanya led the marketing for over 450 travel agencies across Canada - all owned and operated as separate businesses by entrepreneurs. She spent her time creating a strong national brand, but helping these individual businesses succeed by creating local, customer-focused marketing to drive their businesses including local blogs featuring employee travel experiences. She has an MBA in marketing and strategy, but has also learned customer service in the school of hard knocks - being front-desk manager in a number of international hotel chains in Canada and the US. In her spare time, she blogs about travel, looks after a dog and a daughter and generally keeps busy buying Groupon offers for restaurants and other non-essentials and trying them out!
