Here is a little more information directly from Wendy herself:

My real claim to fame is having been smart enough to get SMBMad going and then step out to a great group of people.
I am a certified social business strategist, national speaker, trainer and bike safety instructor. With a broad range of business experience and roles, I get engineering, sales, marketing and channel management. I have lived on both sides of the distributor fence. I enjoy helping integrate social across an organization – from product development to engineering, marketing to customer service/support, human resource management to recruiting, and sales to public relations.

My new role as Global eBusiness Social Media Manager for Parker Hannifin is pretty exciting. Prior work included founding my own consulting firm. Launching and supporting several successful social media organizations, and was a Founding Member, Alumni and Faculty at Society3 Academy.

I have been involved with business development, product marketing and Internet strategies for manufacturers, technical products and service related companies for over 30 years.
