Danielle Wolowitz<\/p><\/div>\n
In the course of her career, Wolowitz has witnessed the evolving landscape of the industry. She considers the most significant change to be the transition from traditional hardware and software offerings to a technology-driven, consultative-focused approach. She noted that Kyocera\u2019s current marketing slogan \u201cWe see things differently\u201d sums up their strategy of better serving their channel partners, the end customer and their employees.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not a manufacturer or a sales arm of a manufacturer anymore,\u201d she stated. \u201cWe are so much more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wolowitz was surprised and honored when she learned she had been named a Difference Maker.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was very appreciative,\u201d she recalled. \u201cIt\u2019s been such a wonderful experience working with so many different groups of people; not only here at Kyocera, but just in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
Added Wolowitz: \u201cThe opportunities that I\u2019ve been presented here have been phenomenal. It\u2019s something that I could not have imagined when I started out so many years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wolowitz wanted to extend her gratitude to two individuals who made a difference in her professional life. The first was Shogo Hyakutake, General Manager at Ricoh Company Ltd., where she began her career.<\/p>\n
\u201cQuite frankly, coming into a company as an intern with zero background in this industry, he really took a chance and helped to foster my career,\u201d she said. \u201cHe also encouraged me and supported me when I moved to Kyocera, which says a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The other difference maker cited by Wolowitz was KDA\u2019s former President and CEO, Mr. Norihiko Ina, who is now the Senior General Manager for Sales on a global basis.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe helps foster everybody\u2019s abilities and gives them the opportunity to prove themselves,\u201d she said. \u201cHe did that for me and I\u2019m forever grateful because obviously it\u2019s worked out very well for me. He\u2019s a wonderful person to work directly for here and I look forward to working with him now in his new role in Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wolowitz described a \u201ctypical\u201d day as one that is as unpredictable and evolving as the industry itself. She said it\u2019s no longer the case where one arrives at the office, completes some tasks and leaves at five o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could vary drastically and that\u2019s the exciting part of it,\u201d she said. \u201cA typical day is you don\u2019t really know what it holds until you get there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yes, the industry is evolving and Wolowitz is encouraged by the new possibilities. She cautioned not to be afraid of change.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to think differently,\u201d she insisted. \u201cWe have to make sure that we\u2019re driving and helping our partners and our organization to grow. I think that\u2019s evident in the way we\u2019ve gone to market in the last couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for plans within her department, Wolowitz predicted that some subtle changes will be made in corporate marketing that will make a big impact. She said that her team is looking to go beyond the traditional mix of media and make some of those offerings available to their dealers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really pushing myself and our team in corporate marketing to think outside that box,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to be back at our dealer conference next year showing all the wonderful things that we were able to do and how we\u2019re going to take our channel even further in 2017 and beyond.”<\/p>\n
Wolowitz remarked that she\u2019s never been one for the status quo and she\u2019s not complacent. She stated that she\u2019s very loyal to her company and wants to help drive initiatives forward, either herself or as part of a larger team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best thing about that is we have the opportunity to do that,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re never standing still around here. I can\u2019t say that there was ever a day in my 12 years here when I didn\u2019t want to get up and come to work in the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
