Biography
A veteran creative technologist with a passion for creating innovative products.
While learning to use the cutting-edge technology at NASA, Ruby Manadero attended Virginia Commonwealth University where she received her BFA in Communication Arts & Design. She cultivated big brands for eight years as an Art Director and Creative Director with top interactive agencies and movie studios in Los Angeles and New York City before making the leap to the tech start-up world.
She scaled CrowdTwist’s initial product stages — the customer loyalty and data analytics platform acquired by Oracle — which she shepherded from paper napkin concepts, and she has since product managed many other digital products. Her work has garnered awards along the way and has also been recognized in Communication Arts & Design, Adobe, Bloomberg, and many more media platforms.
