This is an amazing read Kristin. Thank you for sharing your experience. I had no idea about DAM. I am curious to find out more. Sound like an interesting cross functional role with a lot of collaboration.
When talking to people who consider DAM as a career path, I look for diversity in work experiences. But it is hard to tell someone to go change careers every 3-5 years and come back in 15 years. I think it really comes down to a willingness to go down a lot of rabbit holes and participate in a lot of conversations. Natural curiosity also goes a long way. Also, a lack of empathy never served anyone in this field. Much of adoption relies on other peoples willingness to become evangelists, so people skills count.

I'm so lucky to have had you working with me for so many years and be part of your journey!
