About Katie Newton

Having well over a decade of experience as a successful Sales Professional, Account Manager, and IT Recruiter, I am beyond excited to accept this new position in business development with e-Link. My most recent position was my most rewarding, yet challenging one to date. I had to learn to cooperate with two bosses that were incredibly demanding, expecting a 24/7 commitment, with pay that was basically non-existent. The skill sets gained in this role were immeasurable however, and, now that both bosses are in elementary school full-time, I finally feel ready to tackle something a little bit closer to my level of competency. My background in LinkedIn stems primarily from my years as a technical recruiter. I found it to be a highly effective tool in discovering talent for the roles needing to be filled… as well as an amazing platform for making new connections, and peeking into the professional lives of ex-colleagues and friends. …Then I met Chrissie Wywrot, and everything I THOUGHT I knew about LinkedIn, and it’s capabilities, functionality, and effectiveness was put to shame. Chrissie has over a decade of experience in PR, marketing, professional writing, and social media management. About 4 years ago, she was presented with the realization that most professionals,(and companies) that can be found on LinkedIn are drastically under-utilizing it’s full potential. Fortunately for us all, she has set out to change that. In doing so, she has formed e-Link Consulting… I am SO excited and truly amazed at the immense value to be gained by partnering with this company that I jumped at the opportunity to share this with others!
