Kelly Rusk Joins SmartHippo as our New Community Manager
I’d like to officially welcome Kelly Rusk to the SmartHippo team. Kelly’s career has included positions in PR and email marketing, but her real passion is web 2.0 and social media, which is why as of today she is the new community manager for SmartHippo.
What does a community manager do? Chris Brogan has an excellent rundown in his post, Essential Skills of a Community Manager. In short, a community manager is part of the conversation and spends a lot of time listening (and a bit of time talking).
As we continue to build this great community which is SmartHippo, she’ll serve as an internal advocate for our users, as well as a point of contact for those with questions, comments or suggestions concerning SmartHippo in particular, or online finance in general.
You can connect with Kelly through her blog, on Twitter as krusk and SmartHippo, or LinkedIn. And you can pretty much expect to see her anywhere and everywhere there’s a conversation surrounding the problems, solutions and changes impacting people’s financial lives.
So whether you’re a banker, a broker, a consumer, or just plain curious about the world of finance and how you can make it work for you, please introduce yourself to Kelly, or post a comment below this post.

How you think when the economic crisis will end? I wish to make statistics of independent opinions!
