Diane Guthmann Joins the ACE Board

By Martha Sessums, President, ACE

ACE welcomes Diane Guthmann as our newest ACE Board member.

Diane has been following ACE for years and has been an enthusiastic supporter of the work the ACE Learning Centers do for the schools and communities they support. It seemed a natural to ask Diane to join the ACE board when we had an opening. Plus, she has considerable experience ACE can draw on as we move forward.

First, Diane knows technology. She has built a career in partner marketing and channel programs leadership for technology companies where she developed and managed global programs and teams. Companies like Dropbox, Ruckus Networks, VMware and Nortel Networks where she held director and senior manager positions and had many successes, including global product introductions, marketing campaigns and partner training programs.

Diane also worked for Network Equipment Technologies where she learned the basis of how networks perform, which is where I met her. She is currently at VMware on a consulting basis working on global demand generation programs for SaaS solutions.

Second, Diane is current with today’s communications needs. She has earned awards for social media success and integrated marketing programs – all skill sets that are important for any non-profit (or ACE Learning Center) to successfully deliver their message. An extra – Diane earned an MBA from Boston University Questrom School of Business, Boston, MA.

Welcome Diane. We look forward to working with you and using your skills to make ACE even better.
