Can you introduce yourself, and tell us a bit about you professionally?
Renita Williams: Hi, everyone. My name is Renita Williams and I am reporting live out of Chicago, Illinois. Born and raised here as well. A little bit about me professionally. I have nine years of digital marketing experience. I've worked all types of industries, everything from B2B, B2C, CPG, SaaS, edtech, fintech nonprofit. You name it, I have pretty much done it but now I am excited to start my new journey with ACI Learning.
Tell us a little about you, personally!

So I love to cook, but I also love to eat. Also a huge fan of DIY projects, home improvement, interior design, all the things, I love those as well.
Why did you choose ACI Learning for this next step in your career journey?
Renita Williams: So before applying, I had never even heard of ACI Learning. What led me to apply was just looking at the job description and it seemed like, you know, in terms of the requirements and qualifications, it aligned nicely with all of my expertise and experience. So no burner there. But, you know, as I was going through the different rounds of interviews and learning more about the company and also diving into the website and all of the offerings is kind of like, you know, stumbling across like your new favorite song, like you may skip it a lot of times, but once you find it and you kinda know like, oh, this just feels right. So that's my ACI story.
What got you into your field and how do you think your passion for what you do will transform what you will do here at ACI?
Renita Williams: So what got me into marketing, senior year of high school, I actually had a business class and during the class, you know, the final project was to create a business plan. So, you know, we did all the sections of a business plan, promotion, finances, all of that. And what I really gravitated towards was more marketing and it kind of just clicked for me. And I was like, ok, this may be what I wanna do for the rest of my life. And in terms of how I wanna use my marketing skills to just transform everything that ACI Learning is doing. I'm all about, you know, blending creativity and analytics to create impactful campaigns. My mission is really to, you know, spread the ACI mission and drive engagement, expand the reach and turn all of our potential into performance. So I'm just ready to see ACI grow.
Tell us a quirky fun fact about you or your life!
Renita Williams: Quirky fact about me is I am a huge fan of the Second Amendment, so I'm also a qualified marksman in handgun. I'm working on my qualification for rifles as well.
