Kara Troester

Kara helps her teams turn vision into reality through detailed project planning and aligning business requirements and development strategy to create killer customer experiences for all clients. 

Since 2013, Kara has worked on both the vendor and client-side to manage website and marketing campaign launches, including rolling out new platforms, user training, process improvements, and multi-team coordination. 

During that time, she wore many hats such as project manager, business analyst, and team mom (as needed) to make it all come together. Prior to joining Hoodoo, Kara worked at Zions Bank, coordinating the launch of a 700+ page marketing website onto AEM. This implementation helped remove technical barriers to increase the team's content velocity providing faster time to market for online campaigns.

After the initial site launch, Kara served as the Product Owner for both AEM and Adobe Analytics to oversee the migration of 5 additional affiliate marketing sites onto AEM, implementation of Adobe Launch across all marketing sites, and a massive 3 version AEM upgrade. The culmination of this work helped to create much-needed efficiencies across the multi-tenant AEM platform. 

Specialties include:

• Adobe Certified Expert - Adobe Experience Manager Sites Business Practitioner
• Adobe Certified Expert - Adobe Analytics Business Practitioner and Technical Sales Professional
• Professional Scrum Master
• Certified SaFe 4 Product Owner/Product Manager

Something fun:

Kara is passionate about health and fitness. (On the flip side, she also loves baking and could probably eat her weight in cookie dough should the opportunity arise.) In her free time, she enjoys adventures with her husband and taking countless photos of her adorable dog sleeping.
