Effective Community Building for Tech Startups

I have over 5 years of experience as a freelance community manager which was driven by my passion for business transformation and change management to drive the growth of founders, entrepreneurs, companies and businesses in various industries. Over my years of experience and in a bid to grow my industry knowledge, I have undergone training, certification courses, taken part-time roles, internships and volunteered on various community projects. I have subject matter experience in product-based communities, support communities and cryptocurrency and blockchain as I am a well-versed finance professional in both traditional finance and decentralized technologies.

In my previous positions, I have maintained a fast-paced and high-performance work mentality while managing community relations and creating programs for various projects. I have a knack for problem-solving and work well independently and with little oversight but this does not overrule my team spirit and collaboration skills. I am known for my excellent leadership skills, resilience, adaptability, and cognitive flexibility and am adept at prioritizing multiple ongoing projects.

Additionally, I have:

Professional experience as a startup and finance lawyer, management consultant and venture capital.

Worked as a project manager and developer relations manager on open-source and technical projects

Identified, developed and evaluated strategies to drive community engagement and growth for finance and VC-based projects. 

Utilized a creative approach to engage users and increase achieve set goals.

Driven community partnerships and promotional activities.

Liaised between marketing teams, community teams and top management to align marketing, community and business goals.

I am a self-starter and I thrive at analysing data, creating order out of chaos and capitalising on user activity. I am also deeply familiar with management consulting (market research, business strategy, competitive research, storytelling and presentation), social media management, content curation and using community management tools to create processes and automate operations to gear the wheels of growth in an organization.
