In that role Ellis was charged with delivering on a scope which included global demand generation, account-based marketing, and digital marketing. Following the acquisition, Ellis led the marketing organization of more than 400 people at Adobe in the role of CMO, Adobe Experience Cloud. She spent the first ten years of her career with Sabre, in roles including Head of Innovation and R&D, and VP of Global Marketing.

“Ansira has a strong reputation for developing leading digital marketing campaigns and delivering end-to-end marketing solutions at the local level for companies with a distributed sales model,” said Ellis. “I am proud to join the Ansira board of directors to share my B2B experience with the Ansira leadership team to expand the business.”

In addition to Ellis joining the Ansira board of directors, she is also an advisory board member for the Hankamer School of Business at her alma mater Baylor University.
