Christine Schaefer

Vice President of Marketing
DLT Solutions, Inc.

In her more than fifteen years of experience, Christine Schaefer has had proven success in B2B and B2G marketing and public relations, most often in the information technology industry. She has won numerous awards including the 2010 Women in Technology Leadership Award, CRN Power 100, Heroines in Technology Award, and GovMark Council Award for Best Overall Campaign.

Most recently, Christine has used her expertise to drive demand for the products and services of DLT Solutions (http://www.dlt.com) and its vendor partners. As the vice president of marketing at DLT, Christine oversees a team of marketing professionals, who are organized in an agency-like fashion to support the company's six different sales divisions and its vendor partners including industry leaders such as Autodesk, Google, NetApp, Oracle, Quest Software, Red Hat, SolarWinds, and Symantec. In addition, she is charged with the oversight of the company's marketing, sales, and customer relationships management systems and processes. She is numbers and results driven in her current role, creating entire systems to transform marketing from an art to a science. Christine also co-designed the entry-level Corporate Sales Associate Program at DLT, an on-the-job training program for all entry-level sales associates joining the company, which she now oversees in her department.

Christine's agency-like model at DLT is no coincidence. She has been heavily influenced by her prior experience in public relations and B2B marketing. Immediately prior to DLT, Christine worked for the marketing and public relations agency Stackig (acquired by TMP Worldwide) as an account executive for various telecom and IT clients including Tekelec and Wisor Telecom (recently acquired by Synchronoss Technologies). In her distant past, she worked for a small, commercial printing firm advising clients on their marketing communications and direct mail programs.

Christine graduated cum laude from Marymount University with a Bachelor's in Business Administration in Marketing. She also completed her Master's of Science degree in Sociology at Auburn University. She believes that her practical classes at Marymount and her deep-dive into research and statistics at Auburn also heavily influenced her numbers-centric, factory-like approach to marketing and demand generation.
