This often results in missed opportunities, poor customer service, and diminished customer loyalty. Without a unified approach, client expectations can fall through the cracks, leaving both sales reps and teams scrambling to fix the […]

Stacey Wber

Managing Partner
  • Stacey@ci2advisors.com
Education:
  • Viterbo University Bachelor of Arts - BA, Business Administration - specialization in Management and Computer Information Systems

Stacey has deep experience in product management. After managing products and product management teams for 10 years, she joined Pragmatic Institute (formerly Pragmatic Marketing), teaching thousands of product management professionals the functional skills they needed to manage products in a profitable way. In 2018, she started her own company, Soaring Solutions, LLC, providing custom training development and delivery, coaching, and consulting for Product Management & Marketing teams. Stacey also collaborated to create the Quartz Open Framework, Product Growth Leaders, and Market-Driven Business.

Over these 25 years, Stacey repeatedly noticed that understanding the form and function of the job does not necessarily ensure success in product management. Product professionals also need to understand people — how to form authentic relationships quickly, even in a virtual world. They need to know how to connect and understand their teams and their markets, so they can inspire their companies, their teams, and their market’s buyers, users, and influencers. Stacey became a Managing Partner at CI2 Advisors because their Dynamic Relationship ModelTM will help close this gap, elevating the business outcomes and career trajectory of Product Managers and Product Marketing Managers. She’s excited to help you learn, practice, and apply these “soft skills” for greater alignment, productivity, profitability, and pleasure in your job.

  • How often do you think miscommunications are happening among and between other people in your company and customers? Do you really know?
  • If you could effectively eliminate or reduce miscommunications, would it positively impact your revenues, cost or margin?

John had over 40 years of executive leadership before becoming the Founder and CEO of Ci2 Advisors. His prior experiences includes: President at Information Associates, President at BlessingWhite (now GP Strategies), Partner at The Complex Sale, Executive VP at Advent Software, and Managing Partner at Unlimited Connections Consulting. John has also served on the boards of companies like ASM International, TraderTools, and FolioDynamix, as well as being an Advisor to the CEO at SCRA.

When John reflects on his time in executive level leadership, he realizes that effective communication was the leading factor in determining success or failure for business objectives. As the world of work began to change, John knew that communication would be even more difficult to convey effectively, and being about to connect with, understand, and inspire customers would be harder to do than ever – that is why he founded Ci2 Advisors. His passion for this work stems from his belief that when customers feel heard and understood, amazing things can happen within your customer relationships and overall business performance.
