Tamara oversees SNIs digital operations, and reports directly to the COO of SNI, an international company with $3 billion in annual revenue. In this capacity she is responsible for nearly 25 products and services across seven consumer brands.
Tamara is the most senior African-American at SNI and therefore make every effort to be a sponsor and/or active participant in all high-profile company initiatives, such as the companys employee development program, Leading at SNI; the companys annual internal technology conference, Techtoberfest; and its mentorship program, Mentoring Experience; so that BAME employees can both be inspired to continue contributing at higher levels and can also feel good about having a voice or representation at the senior most levels of the organization.
She serves as a mentor (defined as being available for advice and counselling any time, but meeting regularly at least twice a year) to over a dozen BAME individuals at SNI, the majority of whom I have been mentoring for more than three years.
