Starting June 1, I’ll be the Jive Communities Program Manager, reporting to Ben Kiker, Jive CMO. For those who’ve been with me from the beginning of my employment with Jive… back to the future, eh?
Instead of part-time-when-I’ve-got-time co-manager of Jivespace, it’ll be my puppy, full time. This means a lot less travel, and a lot more involvement with the thing I love the most – Jive’s community of prospects, customers, and partners.
We have a team of passionate, freaking-smart individuals – both Jivers and customers – who have already been involved in keeping our Jive communities’ fires burning, and I’m excited to work with them all!
More later…

Congrats Gia. Well deserved.
Congrats Gia, I know you wanted to stay home a lot more, so I’m glad to hear this job will allow you to stay put.
Is K doing a happy happy dance since mommy will be at home more?
Fantastic news!!! Congratulations on this new venture!!
Thanks all! Frank, yes K is psyched, as is Chris, mainly because I’m the only one who knows how to braid her hair.
Awesome news!
Congratulations Gia!
That’s awesome Gia! Congrats!!
Go Gia go! And stay home Gia, stay! Yay!
Congrats Gia!
Hi Gia
Long time, no talk to! I’ve been out of this scene for quite a while now — doing other stuff, naturally — but am glad to see that Jive and all of its great people are continuing to do good things — even using EMC as an example occasionally!

Great news, Gia…congrats!
Thanks for all the well-wishes! I’ve already been doing the new job unofficially for the last few weeks, while doing the old job, and that will probably continue for a couple of more weeks. I guess I’ve “soft launched” into my new position.
Sorry I am late to the party on this one… I am just now catching up on some of the things in my Reader!!!
Congrats on the new spot! Since we are both in the Twin Cities and I am a Jive client, I would love to get together sometime!

Hey Bob! Agreed. There are a few Jive customers in the Twin Cities. I’d suggest a User Group, but based on my past experiences at my former employer with user groups, I think we’re better off just doing tweetups.
If you’ll be in Boston next week, I will definitely find you!
