Our Team

The Leads

Alessandro’s the “techie” half of our duo and manages most of our client projects. His knack for client service was honed over four years in the Broadcasting division at CCBN prior to starting Beyondus. During his time at CCBN he managed a team of professional event and account managers, and was responsible for managing the relationships with over 500+ clients of webcast, IVR, and fulfillment products. Alessandro’s creative streak kicked off with his B.F.A. in Film and Video Production from the Rochester Institute of Technology at Rochester, NY.

Karen’s our marketing half – she loves to look at the big picture with our clients and design marketing strategy to fit their needs. She’s often out and about – either on the road or on Facebook & Twitter! She’s also embraced the role of teacher, speaker, and coach on marketing and web-related topics. Karen’s background is in marketing for startups – she worked for three of them in the Boston area: CCBN, Safari Books Online, and GeoVantage. Loves the entrepreneurial spirit! And in case you were curious, she holds a B.A., summa cum laude, from William Smith College (Hobart and William Smith Colleges) in Geneva, NY.
