Colleen Ellis

Lean In Circles Manager

I believe in women helping women.... and in general people helping people with introductions, information, mentoring or whatever I am able to provide to them to help meet their goals. Lean In Circles has been a great conduit for the women in the Rise Together circles (I helped establish this past year) to commit to actions, have those deeper conversations around topics you may not have with others and establish a new network which you may not have otherwise had. I encourage you to reach out to me if you would like me to share my experiences in establishing a circle and how you can start your own with business colleagues, friends, neighbors etc.
I have an in-depth background in technology sales and partnerships with both Enterprise and Mid Size companies. My passion is mentoring sales professionals to meet their objectives by providing the best solutions for their customers. I also enjoy teaching beginners to ski, anything outdoors, reading and cooking.

Susana Zhao

Marketing Team Lead

Coming from a multicultural background and having a worldly view, Susana understands and is able to speak to different cultures and perspectives. Susana is fascinated by the marketing world. She works in a digital marketing agency and has run many successful online campaigns for various industries such as real estate, fashion, beauty, and education, in English and/or Chinese.
