Caitlin Croft, the Customer Marketing Manager at InfluxData, joined the company nearly three months ago, seeking a smaller company with a startup-like energy and new challenges in the database industry. She was drawn to customer marketing as it allows her to meet customers, hear about their experiences, and share their stories. Caitlin enjoys learning about technologies but prefers non-technical customer stories where she can share metrics and business results. She appreciated InfluxData's open-source approach, which empowers the community to contribute to the platform. Before joining, she was able to play with the product during her interview process and even provided initial feedback. Since then, she has quickly become an integral part of the team, working on webinars, blogs, customer stories, and other projects, including writing about a customer, Aquicore, shortly after joining. Caitlin looks forward to meeting customers in person at events like InfluxDays San Francisco 2019 and sharing her experiences with others.
