Marcom Stars are great! So who wouldn’t want to have one (or more) on their team?
We supported the Women In Business 2005 awards program by running this ad. Go Anita!

Where to start…
Anita came to Indium Corporation in 2004 as a Marketing Communications Assistant with a great amount of experience in Marketing Communications in both the business and consumer arenas. She was quickly promoted to the position of Marketing Communications Supervisor in 2005 and then to Marketing Communications Manager in 2008. Her past positions included Director of Marketing & Public Relations and Vice President of Marketing. She has a Bachelor's degree in Business and Public Management and an MBA in Technology Management with a concentration in Marketing from the State University of New York Institute of Technology (SUNY IT).
