About Our Speaker(s)

Ashley DeVan

A key player in technology marketing since eCommerce was in its infancy, Ashley DeVan helped launch Circuit City's eCommerce in the 90s with the first-of-its-kind "in store pickup” before joining Dell in its heyday as part of the team that made buying PCs cool with "Dude, you're getting a Dell."

Looking for a change of pace and scenery, Ashley found herself on the West Coast at a little start-up called GoToMyPC (later acquired by Citrix). She then joined Commission Junction, the largest affiliate marketing network in the world, to immerse herself in the truest form of performance marketing.

Thriving on the challenge of change and opportunity, Ashley joined QAD, a leader in cloud and on-premise manufacturing ERP software, to lead a young and energetic marketing communications team. Ashley has a passion for inspiring others to look at things from different perspectives. A proponent of action, she spends a lot of her time aligning with others and creating groundswells within an organization. She is a firm believer that once a target is clear, teams can accomplish amazing things.

In her spare time, Ashley cherishes every opportunity to travel and enjoys scuba diving, camping in the Sierras and spending time visiting her family in Kentucky.
