Karin Pindle

“I had the pleasure of working with KP at Sojourn Solutions for over two years. Her incredible knowledge of Marketing Automation, and willingness to jump in and help out was just amazing. I was changing role in the company, and KP helped me learn the ropes and mentor me, without ever making me feel belittled. She has the same approach and feel for customers, succeeding at informing them with best practices, and pulling them towards a great resolution to complexities, without ever coming across as superior. A hard balance to strike. Really miss working with her, and really hope our paths cross again some day.”

“Karin is a highly skilled, dedicated, and flexible professional in the many roles she’s had since 2005 in marketing automation and marketing operations. She is one of those unique individuals that can explain something very technical to someone who knows nothing about the technology. She does this in a way that makes the person on the receiving end feel informed and empowered (instead of dumb). I’ve had the pleasure of working with KP when she was a Consultant and most recently a Partner Manager and Salesperson at Sojourn. Her impact on our organization has been massive and amazing. She always met or exceeded her goals and did it with a smile and always a little bit of KP humor. I feel like she made work just a little more fun which is so important – we spend so much of our lives at work! We will miss her horribly and wish her success in her next role. Anybody that decides to hire KP – I’m telling you this………you will not regret it!”

“I truly enjoyed working with Karin at Sojourn. She is an exceptional leader, great communicator, and dedicated to getting the job done. She excels at overcoming challenges and truly connecting with customers on a human level. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from her before she embarked on her next adventure. Any organization would be lucky to have her on their team.”

“Karin has been a true inspiration both on how to be a great consultant, as well as leading sales cycles in a way that even early on in the conversations was already tremendously helpful and beneficial to the clients. She's a results driven Leader, with lots of integrity, whilst maintaining a learning mindset, open to discussions and recommendations even from less experienced colleagues. I miss working with you!”

“I worked with Karin during our onboarding of Eloqua. She was incredibly strategic in her approach -- really wanting to go deep in her understanding of our marketing challenges as it related to how we would eventually use the platform. She was then able to quickly synthesize that knowledge to guide her engagement team and help onboard us in a way that made the big change less overwhelming and more energizing to our whole team. Her deep product knowledge, action-oriented approach, and empathetic personality was such an asset to the entire process.”

“KP is simply a superstar! KP is results driven and is able to maintain and grow an impressive client and new business portfolio - consistently over achieving. KP is extremely proactive and can multi-task like no other as she has shown at Sojourn being a part of our New Business, Customer Success and Go To Market Team simultaneously. KP still finds time to support her team mates with her wealth and in-depth knowledge or Marketing Automation and Marketing Operations. The best thing about KP though is that she is so caring and wants to ensure everyone is successful at what they do and what the business achieves. Everyone loves KP!”

“Karin and I have worked together at Sojourn Solutions for over 6 years, and during this time, it's been made clear to me exactly why Karin is so good at what she does. Karin's knowledge of the MarTech and Marketing Operations industry is outstanding - she somehow finds the time, between supporting her client's success and helping to drive the future of the internal organisation, to stay up to date with all the latest movements within the industry and articulate, in her own words, the impact, positives and challenges these movements bring. Karin is my go-to guru for MarTech and operational excellence and I have learned so much through working alongside her. To me, she is unrivalled. On one of the occasions where I pulled Karin into a client discussion on MAP comparisons and their future tech stack, we reached the end of the call and asked the client if they had any questions, they answered "You had me convinced within the first few minutes of this meeting. You have made our decision simple". Karin helps to make things easier for all those around her - clients and colleagues. Karin positively promotes progress, improvement and evaluation - fundamental drivers for success. It's been such a pleasure working with and learning Karin.”

“Karin is a true product ninja. She has very well-rounded experiences and wisdom in all things marketing automation-related. More importantly, Karin is such a genuine and warm-hearted person who loves to help, share and guide those who are less experienced than her. I feel very fortunate to have the chance to connect with Karin and learn from her.”

“Karin is a Marketing Automation Rockstar! She is very competent in marketing automation technology, strategy, and is a pro at all aspects of what makes Eloqua tick. Karin is a wonderful leader and instructor with the ability to clearly explain the most complex tasks in an easy to understand way while making it fun. Clients love Karin’s strong communication skills and ability to provide reasonable recommendations. I am honored that I had the opportunity to learn directly from KP!”

“Karin understands the finer details of both marketing and technology, and that's a combination not easy to find in one person. She has helped us out tremendously on a number of projects over the last five years. I'd highly recommend her as someone who can take your marketing automation efforts to the next level.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Karin for 2 and a half years at Eloqua and then Oracle Eloqua after the merger. Karin is an amazing people person and great people manager. Her team and the management team were greatly enhanced by her professional approach and ability to get the best from her people. She was always keen to learn and adapt to the fast and ever changing environment we found ourselves in and was always positive in adapting to the change and managing her team through it. Karin is also an amazing marketer to boot. She was key to ensuring that the services organisation was properly marketed both internally to our sales team and externally to our customers. She was instrumental in growing the Eloqua services business globally. I hope to have the pleasure of working with her again. Jean-Michel”

“I've worked with Karin for almost 3 years and can honestly say she is one of a kind. I have never had the pleasure of working with someone who is so willing to jump in, get her hands dirty and solve any problem thrown at her. Whether it was a pre-sale call with a prospect, a scoping call, or even if things weren't going well with a customer, Karin was always the one I could lean on for help, problem-solving and of course finding the best solution. There was never a project to big or too small for Karin, and she always handled everything with a smile on her face. Karin is extremely hard-working, intelligent, personable, easy to work with, fantastic with customers and it's been an absolute pleasure (and privilege) to have worked with her at Eloqua and now Oracle.”

“I've had the pleasure of serving on Karin's team at Eloqua for two plus years. I believe Karin exemplifies the meaning of an effective people manager. Karin not only wants each of her team members to succeed as individuals, she wants us to succeed as a team. She takes the steps necessary to ensure we each have the tools, environment and support to be both individual and team contributors. Through consistent positive-reinforcement and unwavering encouragement, I believe each of our team members feels appreciated which propels us to do our best work. Karin is especially adept with the ability to convey a "needs-attention area" coaching message with grace, respect and candor. This is a highly desirable skill and one that I've not often had the opportunity to experience in my career. It is evident that Karin manages from a platform of "my employees may know things I don't about the best way to get the job done; I can learn from the people I manage". I believe this approach fosters creativity, empowerment and the freedom to choose how best to achieve end results for every member of our team. Karin has the perfect background to allow her to easily relate to her team! She is a veteran marketer, long-time Eloqua power-user and served in the Eloqua Partner community as a Marketing Automation Consultant. Though Karin is modest and never one to draw attention to herself, her positive attitude and the respect others feel toward her are palpable. Karin embodies sincerity, objectivity, collaboration and authenticity. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to learn more about how Karin can make a difference for your organization.”

“Karin is one of the hardest working, most focused and yet fun individuals I have ever worked with. To say that Karin does an excellent job is an understatement. During my time at Eloqua, Karin worked with me on various projects and each and every day she brought her A-game to the table. Karin's ability to coach customers through complex technical decisions was quite impressive. Karin always kept the customers best interest in mind, while at the same time encouraged decisions that would create a win-win for both parties. Karin is an absolute dynamo and a strong asset to any team!”

“Karin, in a word, is inspiring. She brings a genuine passion to not only her team, but her clients. What I admire most about Karin is her ability to bring a fresh and valuable perspective, even when the team is busy in the "weeds" of a project. She is able to look at a situation and treat it as a positive, problem solving, challenge. Karin is accepted as a leader by colleagues, and quite frankly, she's delightfully fun to work with! I highly recommend her work and would be absolutely thrilled to be on a team with her in the future.”

“Karin was a great addition to the Astadia Marketing Automation team. She brings a wealth of Eloqua & marketing knowledge and experience to the table, working with clients small and large to implement awesome solutions. She is a rock star when it comes to rapid deployment (a la Eloqua Smart Start) and is always willing to pitch in and help the team. She has a lot of creativity, outside of the box ideas, and a marketer's eye which have made her so successful...oh and clients love her!!”

“Karin stood out on a team of over-achievers! Karin and I worked on a few projects that, of course, had tight deadlines, unexpected technical issues, and a lot of project details to handle. Karin handled those challenges masterfully and left clients happy by exceeding their expectations. Always professional, fun to work with and ready to solve any problem, Karin can do it all. I was very impressed with Karin's work with social media and would recommend her in any marketing capacity.”

“Karin is extremely bright and highly motivated. She is friendly, easy to work with, and is always willing to go the extra mile. It was a pleasure working with her at Sourcefire, and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again in the future.”

“I highly recommend Karin! She is highly motivated and always takes on new challenges, even if they are out of her comfort zone. She has great organizational skills and attention to detail. You can always count on Karin to accomplish what is on her plate on time and with great results. She truly is a team player and is highly respected by those who have worked with her. It's a great pleasure working with Karin.”

“Karin was a sport management major at SUNY Cortland. I knew her for approximately four years in my capacity as an associate professor and the assistant program coordinator of the sport management program at the State University of New York College at Cortland. I have been a sport management professor and an executive in the sports industry for over twenty years. This is a blind letter of recommendation. In an intensively competitive program, Karin was consistently our best student during her four years here. Her academic scholarship in the classroom was outstanding and her service to the program and the college was exemplary. In every way, her performance both in and out of the classroom was superlative. She is mature, responsible, dependable, and a true leader and she served the program and SUNY Cortland with distinction. In recognition of her outstanding performance, Karin was awarded the 2003 Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence, which is the highest award the State University of New York system can bestow upon a student. I am a demanding professor and I set high standards for my students. I do not write letters of recommendation for every student, nor do I give praise easily. Simply put, in my twenty plus years as a professor and an industry professional, Karin is without question the finest undergraduate student I have ever encountered. Through her dedication and hard work, she has earned the respect and admiration of the faculty and peers. Karin is a star performer.”

“Karin is a great marketing professional! I'm impressed with her dedication in her position of email marketing coordinator at USi. She is thorough in her work and always closes the loop on each project. I would highly recommend Karin.”
