Jones, Founder and CEO, EyeMail Inc Greatness can be born from anywhere in the world and is not geographically defined My favourite social media platform is LinkedIn because it enables an unlimited supply of network connections and opportunities to meet interesting people worldwide. As we continue to work virtually, LinkedIn enables me to speak/attend international conferences live, is another channel to communicate EyeMail' I am originally from Alabama but started my professional journey at NASA in logistics management. I had always embraced an entrepreneurial spirit, but I wasn't sure how or where to channel my energy for growth. I moved to Atlanta to start a career in the telecommunications industry. I made the leap to a full-time entrepreneur, and for more than 16 years, my focus has been a digital innovator and disruptor for marketing communications. As CEO and Founder of EyeMail Inc. I have developed multiple patent pending technologies within the digital video-in-email marketing space. EyeMail enables full video (up to 60 seconds) to automatically play in email and mobile, to increase customer engagement. I enjoy waking up every day and discovering new ways to build a better way to communicate. I am inspired by my journey as a trailblazer for innovation and to pave a path forward for the advancement of women in technology. As a Black female CEO, I am full of gratitude and have the opportunity every day to work with a global team of thought leaders to explore new ideas and make impactful change. Our goal in 2021 is to focus on inclusiveness and accessibility for all communities. The best advice I ever received is' feel the fear', which helps keep me pressing forward, and 'do your best the 1st time, and you will never have to worry if it was enough. Delivering excellence is part of my professional and personal brand. I am inspired by all the female founders before me, knowing that I can make an impact every day. Each step we take, big and small, counts in the journey. My story is still being written, and every day is a new day to look at things differently. A written interview with Lisa S. Jones, founder of EyeMail ‎A female tech CEO, trailblazer and innovator in telecommunications My career started at NASA in the field of logistics. I was responsible for managing shuttle inventory levels, managing technical resources and project deliverables. I decided to diversify my skillset and moved to Atlanta to work in the telecommunications sector. I worked in infrastructure project management at Cingular Wireless and AT&T. I transitioned positions to work in the Office of Supplier Diversity. My role was to foster business relationships with women and diverse businesses to assist in help in making introductions and serving as a liaison for growth. Sometimes in life there are life altering events that help you reshape your perspective and career path. My life’s mission changed when I received news from my sister that our mom had suddenly passed away at home, alone at the age of 61. I remember the impact this pivotal moment of her passing had on the redefinition of my journey forward. I recognized the potential of email marketing in contrast to my previous endeavors when in 2004, I realized we all can relate to the feeling of being inundated with inbox clutter and un-engaging messages. In efforts to understand how major fortune brands, non-profits and mid-tier businesses engage and connect with their audiences, I signed up for email communications of over 150 brands. l soon discovered all of these brand communications had similarities in common. I did not feel special or engaged or inspired to take their next step.
