Update Jan 7, 2011: I am no longer updating this list, instead, find the more updated list for 2011 for Corporate Social Strategists.
As an industry watcher, I look at trends, data, spending, technologies, yet what’s really important is watching the trend of professionals as they grow into these roles managing disruptive technologies. Update: Brian Hayashi has created a spreadsheet of this with additional info –like Twitter handles. We’re staying coordinated so the data is matched, follow Brian on Twitter.
[Connecting with customers using social technologies is deceptively challenging, as most outsiders don’t recognize the leadership to change internal cultural. Now, in public, let’s recognize those who are paving the way]
Methodology: About this List
This 2010 list is an update from the original I started in 2008, it was woefully out of date as people moved around. This list is updated, as I’ve separated the large technology section in HW vs SW and am only linking to LinkedIn accounts.
A majority of this data is based off submissions in the 2008 post, which most which are self-submissions or from their fellow colleagues and we only link to their already public profile in LinkedIn for verification. We’ve spend days compiling this data, but due to the content ever changing, we expect there to be some inaccuracies, leave a comment if you see something that needs fixing. Thanks to Sonal Mehta a student at American University who I’ve hired helped me in this research.
Read Carefully: How to get on this List
In a world of noise, curation becomes very valuable, as a result, there are very specific requirements for this list, which include: 1) You must have a public LinkedIn profile page, as this is one of the best way to verify employment. 2) The profile indicates that social media is part of your full time employee role at the corporation–not just for personal or casual use. 3) You must work at an enterprise class corporation with more than 1000 employees, 4) Must be on brand side 5) You’ll kindly leave a comment below with the submission for review. Due to excess volume, submissions by Twitter and emails or other channels will not be included, kindly leave a comment in this centralized area below.
In an effort to keep information in a tight scope, I’m not able to include folks who are doing great work in other sectors. However, if you decide to create a list for other sectors, I’ll prominently link to it from this post. Update: Here’s a growing list for non-profits.

We will use portions of the data found in this post for the research report, so thanks for helping to update it.

Community Managers at Corporations
The community manager is primarily externally facing, and interacts with customers as the public face of the company. They are primarily customer advocates, evangelists, bloggers, community moderators, and experts at using social technologies to communicate. We honor them every fourth Monday of January on Community Manager Appreciation Day. To keep the focus tight, this list is only of corporate community managers, and not those on contract at community platform vendors or service companies on contract.

Social Media Researchers and Social Media Product Managers at Corporations
When I started this list in 2008, I didn’t have a specific slot for researchers and product managers who are creating these products. These roles are not folks who are using the technologies for marketing, support, or other business use cases (end users) but instead are researching and creating the products that the above professionals will use in their jobs.
- Alan Lepofsky, Director of Product Marketing Socialtext
- Adam Nash, Product Vice President, Search & Platform Products LinkedIn
- Rawn Shaw, Social Software Knowledge Practices Lead IBM
- Lili Cheng Research – Group Manager at Microsoft
- Suzanne Minassian Product Manager, Lotus Connections IBM Lotus
- Jake Kuramoto Product Manager Oracle
- Frank Gruber Principal Product Manager of Lifestream Platform AOL
- Matthais Zeller Group Product Manager, Enterprise Rich Internet Applications Adobe Systems
- Moz Hussain Director of Product Management Microsoft Corporation
- Jen Page, Product Marketing Manager for RightNow Social Experience
I’m passionate about what these folks do, as I, myself, was a strategist/community manager at an enterprise corporation a few years ago. Update: Thanks to Altimeter’s Andrew Jones for the assistance on the updates.
Would love to get on your list under Business Services.
I am the Vice President of Social Media for Proximity BBDO… see my linked in here: http://bit.ly/99rQHY
I added you Collin, you certainly fit the criteria.
BTW: I use LinkedIn for verification as I know colleagues can confirm titles and responsibilities.
Love the requirements… can't wait to see what you end up with. Woohoo!
Hi Jeremiah: we've spoken before via email. I am the community manager for Martindale-Hubbell Connected, a network of 25,000+ legal professionals. Our company LexisNexis has over 10,000 employees, and you can check out my Linkedin profile here: //il.linkedin.com/in/mikemintz. Thanks! Mike
Would like to be placed on your list of Social Media Strategists. I am a 2009 Groundswell Award & 2009 Global Mobile Marketing Association winner for my work in social media. I work for a corporation with over 1,000 employees. My LinkedIn profile is http://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelvangel
Hi Jeremiah,
If you are able to squeeze me in on the list of Social Media Stratgeists, based on the work I do the “Business Services” category would probably be the best fit.
Thanks,
Mike
I remember you Mike. I added you under business services as a community manager, thanks.
I hadn't considered recruitment professions for this list, let me think it over. This scope could get really large if I start including folks that use these technologies as part of their job vs a majority of their job.
Hi Jeremiah,
Just as a point of clarification, the majority of my professional time is dedicated to using New Media to drive measurable business results. Is that really any different from anyone else on that list?
If you're worried about the bar being set too low, suggest a possible litmus for additional inclusion would be those sm practitioners who have successfully presented award-winning social media case studies for unbiased peer review that have tied social media strategies to meeting business objectives and establishing ROI.
The Mobile Marketing Association and Forrester Research did not make a distinction about the industry I am in when objectively reviewing the sm work I had submitted for peer review. They judged it on its merits. I think you should, too. I hope you do.
Thanks,
Mike
Thanks for taking the time to compile such a great resource, Jeremiah.
FYI, Paula Berg is no longer with Southwest Airlines.
(By the way, I think I would fit all the criteria for inclusion here, but only by counting the size of our parent corporation Dun & Bradstreet [c. 5,000 employees], not just Hoover's [c. 500 employees].)
Thanks Michael, No doubt you've achieved quite a bit. I understand your point of view.
Let me think it over for a few days, as more requests come in, I'll have a better sense for scope. Check out the previous post I did on this, this discussion on 'scope' went on for hundreds and hundreds of comments.
Can you give me some time to carefully think it over?
Tim
I moved Paula (Who I've met) she must have just moved, as we did a data check. Yup, she just moved in Jan says her LinkedIn profile. I added you.
Great list and requirements Jeremiah!
Hi Jeremiah,
Absolutely.
I am passionate about what I do in this space. That's what makes it fun for me and worthwhile.
I am a fan of Chalene's and by extension Altimeter. I look forward to reading your posts, especially. Saw a recent online video interview you had done. It was very good and was shot in your office. They even panned a few times on the “altimeter” you had by the bookcase. You had a colleague who presented with you that came more from the tech side which provided a nice balance.
If I don't make your list it's not the end of the world and I certainly won't sour on Charlene, Altimeter, or you.
Keep aspiring to move the “needle”. It inspires me.
All the best,
Mike
Great list, thank you Jeremy. I noticed that Paula Berg is no longer with Southwest Airlines, recently joining a PR firm.
This was fixed (see Tim Walker below)
Hi Jeremiah,
I would be happy to join your CM list for Technology, Software and Internet – I am a Social Web and Communities Manager at Nokia, and I've been in charge of http://www.nokia.com/discussions since 2005.
Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/juhish
Oops – you also have a section for Electronics, Devices and Mobile – that sounds just right 🙂
Hi Jeremiah: I work for a large & public hospitality company that has a marketing team of 3 (myself included). As a result, and as the Web/Interactive Marketing Manager, I wear (truly!) all 3 social media hats with majority focus & time being spent on Community Manager (Facebook & Twitter) followed by Strategist. Would be honored to be added to your list.
Many thanks for your consideration.
Pamela
Would like to be added under Technology, Hardware …
Colleen Swanger, Director, Graphics and Digital Marketing, NCR Corporation

Both a strategist and a community manager – am responsible for both.

@ncrcorporation
Thanks!
My LinkedIn.com profile is here: http://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelanaumes
Do you also handle the work for RockSugar?
Hey Jeremiah,
Thanks for including me (and Yahoo!) on your list of Technology/Software/Internet Community Managers 🙂
It's always great to be included– am currently working on CM efforts for Y! Groups, Answers, and Delicious (phew!)– it's great to see so many SM strategists and CM's in the corporate sphere. Love to know that the efforts are being recognized on such a broad scale.

Jeremiah,
Thanks for keeping your list up to date. You have no idea how helpful your list is for those of us in this industry to network w/each other! There are a few others at Yahoo! too, though. Elsa Chang of Upcoming, Heather Champ at Flickr, Zach Sheppard at Flickr, Marilyn Jaynes at Answers and Brenda Law at Shine. There used to be many more of us, but I think that's it for us at present. Let me know if I need to post their LI profiles.
Hi Jeremiah,
I'd appreciate being included in your list. Although my role with SchoolDude.com didn't start out to include community management, it's a responsibility I have inherited recently by way of a corporate reorganization. I have been following your blog for over a year and have found your insights invaluable in preparing me for my expanding role.
LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/schlatzer
Great list Jeremiah. Thanks for keeping this going, it's a great resource
Jeremiah, I'd like to be included under the CPG category for Land O'Lakes – I'm the social media strategist, working with Interactive Marketing, Corporate Communications and IT.
When are you making it out to Minneapolis again? 🙂
Regards,
Rick
http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickmahn
Jeremiah,
FIrstly, love the stuff you guys at Altimeter are doing. Your new perspective is refreshing.
On this topic – I know that you might get flooded with submissions if you don't put guidelines in place – but the 1,000 employee floor might, I believe, exclude some of the most creative work going on.
Donal

Hi Jeremiah. Would love to be on this list (Automotive or Retail). I am the Senior Marketing Manager for US Auto Parts (NASDAQ: PRTS) and I handle the young Social Media Programs for our brands.
http://linkedin.com/in/mikevillar
Hey Jeremiah, great list – I'd love to get on it 🙂
I am Senior Product Manager for Martindale-Hubbell Connected, the site Mike Mintz (here on this list) is a community manager of. We have over 25,000 members from the legal industry and is a thriving and exciting community.
Here's my LinkedIn profile http://www.linkedin.com/in/alinwagnerlahmy for references to my involvement in the social media and communities world in past 10 years. I have worked to grow different communities (from kids, music, art through gaming, and now – lawyers), devised social media strategy for different large organizations of over 1000 people, and have done my Masters majoring on New Media, Information and Society on a research track.
Thanks for considering me!
Thanks Bob, I've been admiring Intel's work in social for years. Keep it going.
Thank you Alin, how cool, I added your profile to the lnist.
Interesting, you're helping lawyers with social, what are you doing for them? It it for lawyers to support each other, or to use the tools for their own marketing?
Mike
Your linkedin profile does not resolve. Please resubmit, thanks.
Mike

Thanks Donald.
For quality information, enforced criteria really helps to keep things organized.
The good news is, anyone who wants to create a similar list for companies under 1000 employees can start one. I'll prominently link to it. However expect to spend weeks building and maintaining it
(this one took us a hours and hours to get in order)
Thanks Rick, I grew up on your products.
What is Land O'Lakes doing with social technologies lately?
Kurt, thanks for the kind words. It always makes me feel satisfied that I can help folks, using these tools. I checked out your profile, very impressive, however I'm keeping the scope tight, and at this time, looking for folks at companies that have an employee base at a certain size. I'm encouraging someone to create a list for SMB space, which I'll prominently link to. I hope you continue to expand in your career and role, thank you so much for reading.
Robyn my long time friend. It's great to hear from you since our podcasting days.
How is this list helpful to you? I'd love to hear.
I'll add those folks as suggested.
Also, BTW: I'm trying to get the attention from Yahoo Mail, can you assist?
You must know Robyn? I added you Melissa.
Colleen
Thanks, I've not heard much about NCR, so it was interesting to check out the website, sounds like a big part of consumers every day life, but we probably don't even know it. I added you.
Thanks Pamela (and for submitting the LinkedIn profile) I've added you.
I visit your Palo Alto location, but only on an empty stomach, the portions are huge!
This is done Juha.
I nominate U.S. Navy Commander Scott McIlnay (http://www.linkedin.com/in/scottmcilnay) for this list. He is the director of the Emerging Media Integration division in the Navy Office of Information, essentially he's the guy behind the entire Navy's social media efforts. So a little disclosure on my part … In addition to my life as a professor at UGA, I am a Navy Reservist assigned to his team 🙂 GO NAVY!
Sweetser, great idea, added. I created a brand new category for this. I was invited to join the USS Stennis, but it's been postponed, hoping to come aboard soon.
Jeremiah,
I would like to be considered for inclusion as a Social Media Strategist. I manage web services at the University of Maryland Medical System which includes responsibility for our social media program. I also maintain an active and growing list of hospitals that use social media on my blog at http://ebennett.org/hsnl/ The list currently tracks over 500 hospitals and has links to over 1,000 social media sites.
My linkedin profile is at http://www.linkedin.com/in/edbennett
Thanks Jeremiah!
Great question – what the service is offering and building towards is a good mix of both business development as well as marketing tools, mainly B2B, and I see it growing to offer knowledge management tools via social tools. Platform wise we offer online networking tools, blogs, groups and forums as communication mechanism, and this year we're looking to add some more cooler features tailored to the legal industry.
On the engagement level – as Mike can tell you – we offer monthly events that are a mix of webinars, twinterviews, guest blogs, all centered around a dedicated, contextually and timely relevant topics. The two recent events, for example, we reviewed social media in 2009 and how it changed the way lawyers do business http://tinyurl.com/yacynk9 (an event we did for Dec 2009), and this month we're looking into navigating the ethical pitfalls in social media – Mike can tell you all about it 🙂 http://tinyurl.com/y8mvfme.
Totally Iove that you do this list but am of course sad not included and am asking to be added – I do Social Media Strategy for Microsoft's Bing, have done so since before launch of the product and I'm in LinkedIn with that listed. http://bit.ly/ca5Mcj Find me on twitter @baoki .
Thanks for adding me to the list! as I am performing less of a community management role and more of integrating social media elements into a product, processes and organization, wondering if I should be on the Social Media Strategist list? Happy to be one both 🙂 happy to be on it at all – so wherever you think is right!
I nominate Lee Aase of the Mayo Clinic as a Community Manager – Lee is a leader in the social media health care community, and also runs an training site called SMUG – http://bit.ly/aoqYIF
Here is his linkedin profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/leeaase
Ed
Great submission. I've known Lee for years, and his work, shame on me for not adding him earlier. I put his name up.
My failure for not including you Betsy, even after the phone calls we've had! Oh dear, adding you immediately, will you forgive?

Thanks Jeremiah! You've inspired me to stop being a slacker on LinkedIn so it's all to the good. I've a New Year's resolution to clean it up and add people and you've inspired me why it's so important. 😉
Have a great year – hope to see you soon.
Betsy Aoki, Bing
Jerimiah–great seeing you at Smash Summit Supper a few weeks ago. Love the list and we still need to catch-up a bit more. Wanted to share this list with you from Sree Sreenivasan of social media editors and executives at media outlets for inclusion – http://twitter.com/sreenet/socmedia-editors. Doesn't have links to their LinkedIn profiles but should be a good resource. Hope this helps. See you soon,
Robert

Jeremiah,
Thanks for the list. A couple of clarifications for Intuit:
1. Scott K. Wilder, GM “ Online Communities / Social Media, Intuit…no longer works at Intuit.
2. I work with Christine Morrison in TurboTax driving social media from the communications side. Would love to be on the list along with my coworkers at Intuit. Here is my LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/scott-gulbransen/0/….
Thanks for keeping the list current…very helpful resource.
Such a list coule be useful. I am afraid I totally disagree with some of your criteria. Mainly 3) You must work at an enterprise class corporation with more than 1000 employees, 4) Must be on brand side – Many Social Media strategists are not in corporations. I'll just mention for example Miguel Membrado from Kimind, who created hist own company. While it is easy to collect corporate social media analysts, many of the innovators are not in the corporation side.
This is a great resource – thank you so much for putting it together. I'm with HP Software, part of HP Enterprise Business. When you were at Forrester you a talk for EB. My linked in profile is http://www.LinkedIn.com/in/MichaelProcopio I'd like to be put on a future list.
Thank you Jeremiah. By the way, I read your posts & tweets faithfully and want to thank you for helping me become a better digital marketer by providing relevant learning, news & information that I'm able to apply every day.
PS: Our portions ARE huge making them perfect to share or as a second meal! Love the Palo Alto location; been there a few times myself.
Indeed!
is this only for CMs located in america? because yahoo! answers has over a dozen CMs located around the world that aren't included here.
Hi Jeremiah, It was good to meet you on your recent trip to Memphis. Great work compiling all these people.

Great List. I'd like to apply for inclusion under the Hospitality and Food Service Category. I'm the Social Media Administrator for the Mario Batali & Joe Basitanich Hospitality Group. I manage Mario Batali's social media accounts, as well as those of all of his restaurants nationwide.

Good to talk to you too! I miss doing the podcast sometimes 🙂 One example of how this list will help is that I'm trying to put together a 'developer community' networking thing, since there are more than a handful of us who are CMs or similar for developer communities now, and I think we could all learn a great deal from each other. The list is a great way to know who does what, where, and that's very helpful… Your earlier list served a similar purpose for me.
This is what I found for Elsa, though it's not the prettiest url so there may be a better one: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/elsa-chang/1/90b/306 (her profile is not completely up to date).
I'll be glad to help you w/mail. Ping me via email and we'll get you some help! Cheers 🙂
This is done John. Tell us what you're working on, that sounds really interesting. Do you empower each restaurant or do you manage it for them?
I added you, but under Health, thank you.
Michael, added. Thanks
Robyn is a gem. You must be 'double' important, I removed the duplication. Thanks 🙂
Karen, I've added you. I enjoy the voice of the Google corporate blog, clever headlines. Great to meet one of the many voices behind it.
Great to connect with you again Robert. I added you. Hope you come to the SMASH conference.
Pierre
I actually agree with your disagreement 😉
This isn't a list of innovators, but of those using the technologies that the innovators have created. Well, let me back up a bit, as some of the projects these folks are doing are indeed very innovative, but you get what I'm saying.
I focus on THREE spheres as an industry watcher: Community (aka consumers), Business (primarily this list) and Technology (Where you'll find those innovators). I'm cognizant of being balanced on all three spheres, and agree with you, this list is focused on the business sphere alone.
The great news is, if you wanted to create a list of innovators and keep it updated, I'll be happy to link to it from this post.

http://www.linkedin.com/in/kjophoto
Hope to make it on the list! Thanks for keeping it together and attempting to update!
Thanks Cassie, I've added you. Curious how CTV is using social, can you share more?
Kelly thanks for submitting. According to LinkedIn, SPEED channel has less than a thousand employees, which is the threshold for the way I'm defining enterprise companies.
Jeremiah – I'll try not to be hurt that I didn't make your first pass! – but seriously, great idea and would love to be included when you update (for The Estee Lauder Companies of course; think I'd need a whole other category for Executive Moms). 🙂
Let me know if you need anything, and thanks! Hope to talk soon,
Marisa Thalberg
Marisa, My mistake, I've added you (4 mins after your comment here), I hope we can speak soon, love to hear about the impacts your group has made.
We should talk, then. Someone from the organization – or the PR firm – went with an ad hominem attack against me because they didn't like my review of RockSugar on Yelp.
Hi Jeremiah – Would love to be on the list — Thanks! (And thanks for the VMW community shout-out as well.)

Hmmm…first time hearing about this so unfamiliar with the situation. Can you send me a note (to my LinkedIn account: http://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelanaumes) & provide any details so I can investigate?
Many thanks,

Thanks for putting this list. Already see some familiar names. Would like to get on the list as well. I am VP, I Internet Marketing with focus on Social Media strategy. http://www.linkedin.com/in/dhaliwal
Excellent stuff Jeremiah as I am about to embark on a campaign for three of my father's Nationwide Insurance agencies. Trying to get in touch with Shawn Morton of Nationwide to see how he can help me. Would've been tough to find him if it wasnt for you!
Thanks again!
John
I *already* had you on. I look forward to your comments as you often share your relevant work at VMware.
Thanks Gurmeet, I've added you. It would be great to hear more about what CA is doing in social.
I added these four, thanks! It's exciting to see how Yahoo is so involved with community.
SPEED falls under FOX, Inc. This is who pays everyone there. Does that help? Thanks Jeremiah!
That makes the difference yes, thanks, added.
Thanks so much! Appreciate all you're doing.
Hi Jeremiah, I run Social Media Marketing at Webtrends, which is both an internally facing strategy role and external engagement. Do I make sense to add to your list?
A couple things, though our Feed division is further along than dairy at the moment, connecting with customers with “ask the expert” advice, though more is in the works. Dairy has a number of things in the works for 2010, and those will make it live by mid summer. Internally, there is ongoing education opportunities and challenges that I'm working on. You can find our Horse Feed folks on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/PurinaHorse?r…) and twitter (http://twitter.com/purinahorsefeed).
Thanks Jeremiah!

Hi Jeremiah,
Thanks for the list. This is great networking help. I'd also like to be included on your list going forward. I'm the new social media strategist and community manager for BBVA Compass, the U.S. subsidiary of one of the top 10 financial services organizations in the world. My linked in profile is: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jennefermeyer
Hi Jeremiah,
I'd like to nominate Debbie Curtis-Magley at UPS. She's terrific. Debbie does great sm work at UPS as well as being very active presenting case studies in the Social Media Business Council!
I think Business Services may be the best fit for the category.
http://www.linkedin.com/in/debbiecurtismagley
Hi Jeremiah,
I'd also like to add Polly Pearson at EMC for inclusion, too, on the Community Managers listings. She does wonderful sm work on a global basis for EMC both internally and externally.
http://www.linkedin.com/in/pollypearson
Thanks, Jeremiah — I only found out about Paula's move in the past few days myself.
Cheers!
Hello Jeremiah,
I would like to considered for your list. My LinkedIn profile is http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/mara-tolja/11/3a4/77b
I am the Community Manager for the Collaboration Community of Practice at Deutsche Bank. Let me know if need more information.
Speak with you soon.

Hi Jeremiah – I'd like to add myself for consideration to this list. I am the social media strategist (but do serve the community function as well) for Western Union. I manage all of our social properties and have big plans for 2010. Thanks!
http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&ke…
Hey, Jeremiah. Thanks for pulling this list together; not only am I honored to be a part of it, but I am a big believer in the value of lists curated by experts (look for more on that subject out of Humana's innovation center soon!).
I also have some suggestions to add to the list:
Alexandra Wheeler, Director of Digital Strategy at Starbucks
Ed Bennett, Director of Web Strategy at U of Maryland Medical System
Nick Dawson, Director of Community Engagement at Bon Secours Health System
Holly Potter, VP of Public Relations at Kaiser Permanente
And I'll probably think of a few more … it's amazing how rapidly this field is growing in the health space.
I am excited to be at the forefront of the Social Media Initiative that A.C. Moore has started. Since our September launch we've grown leaps and bounds–and look forward to expanding our role in the Social Media field this year (and beyond)!
Would like to be included on list. Winton “Sonny” Adcock.. Intel Corp. Strategist & Community Manager. Sales & Marketing Group/Support Engineering.
Hi Jeremiah
This list is a great idea and a great resource (to go along with your blog, which is already a great resource). I'd love to be included on the list under the Social Media Strategist area in Financial Services. I am Director of Digital/Web Strategy at The Hanover Insurance Group. Here's my LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidmeiselman
Thanks!
David Meiselman
Thanks David, nice meeting you. I added you. Curious, what are you doing with social at Hanover?
Sonny, I know many of your colleagues, but don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you yet. Hope to cross paths soon.
Did I speak to you or your colleagues on an inquiry call about a year ago? Sounds really familiar. I added you Brian thanks
Thanks Mara. I assume your role is for external 'extranet and internet' usage? It wasn't clear on your profile. I added you just the same.
Thanks Greg, I'm glad you thought of others.
I added Alexandra, ya know, 'Starbucks Ideas' ends up in my presos (and Charlene's too) frequently.
I didn't see any indicators on Ed's profile he's involved in social, that's a criteria for me, could you kindly ask him to be more descriptive and then comment on this direct thread? I'm all ears.
I need your help, what's Nicks' LinkedIn profile?
I think I was on a panel with Holly recently in SF. She's done amazing things, if I recall correctly.
Greg, thanks for being a community advocate, appreciated.
Now that's an interesting use case. It looks like Polly helps with the EMC image for recruiting talent? Did I read that correctly? I added her.
I added her. I saw some folks on Twitter suggesting that “this isn't social media, it's just PR folks using social” or something to that regard.
My hope is the titles are as important as the work that's being done. I spend time reading each profile and understanding their responsibility.
Jennifer, added. I've never heard of BBVA Compass, but read the profile, to learn it's not out here in the West. Thanks for submitting.
We met at the ISF in Portland last year. Looking forward to this year.
Sonny Adcock
That's great, Jeremiah. You can find Nick here http://www.linkedin.com/in/nickpdawson, and I'll pass your comments on to Ed Bennett. With regard to Holly, you're right. She's something else – recently won PR News' “PR Team Leader of the Year.”
You spoke to me – back when we were just getting off the ground. Thanks for adding me!
We are lucky enough to have Paula out here in Denver, Colorado. Haven't met her myself but hope to soon. She is great.
Thanks Jeremiah. After being a reader and very occasional commenter of your blog, it's great to “meet” you too!
We are at the early stages of strategy development in using social to support our partner agents, provide service to our policy holders, and help to empower our employees. Happy to share more details as we progress and would love to hear your thoughts and findings as they apply in our space.

But of course Brian, thanks. Yet, in every team, there's often a lead, especially in corporate.
Thanks Ajay. Goodness, there's a lot of folks at Intel involved, which is interesting.
Terri, I'm looking for more info on RSM McGladrey but there's no LinkedIn page about the company, can you share more details with me?
This is done Tom, thanks
Thanks Melissa. One of the thresholds of this list is to look at enterprise sized companies (1000 employees) LinkedIn shows that Softcom has about 50 folks, is LinkedIn incorrect?
Thanks Rhonda, I added you.

Jeremiah – would humbly like to add my name to the Social Media Strategist list as I currently lead Booz Allen Hamilton's social media practice for our government clients (http://www.linkedin.com/in/sradick). I've got a team of people here who support our clients in integrating social media into their communications plans. Great post and great resource as always Jeremiah – looking forward to talking with you at the next event!
Great list of folks here, Jeremiah. I recently jumped on board with DeVry University as their Social Media Manager – and though I'm not a big 'lists' person, I wouldn't mind being thrown into the mix with the rest of these smart folks: http://www.linkedin.com/in/sonnygill1
Thanks! I'm honored (seriously)!
This is great Jeremiah and thank you for always offering up your help with these informative lists. I really want to have a panel at Blog World Expo on the social media manager/director/collaborator or whatever the title is, to discuss their duties and roles and corporate structure. Perhaps I could get you to moderate it? Let me know.
Of course, count me in. Maybe we could make the upcoming report available to attendees Jim.
I'd like to be added to the list.

Jeremiah, I'd love to get on the list. I work with Steve Furman. Here's my profile on Link in: http://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannestull
Perhaps the criteria being used to place people on this list needs to be revisited. As an example, when you perform a Google search on the person's name, especially the one's that aren't common names, I'd think there *should* be more than a handful of links to minimal content. It begs the question, should “leaders” demonstrate that they've been proven practitioners?
Would love to be added as well. I've even interviewed Charlene Li last year for my video blog…I'm a video blogger/social media strategist at Cisco in WW Channels. I manage the Channels blog, @Cisco_Channels, CiscoChannels You Tube account, and also a Cisco partner community called Channels Buzz.
Here's my LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/akrasne

Thanks again!
Nice to meet you Tom, are you in NY? I'm coming out in May.
Tiffany, nice to meet you. I've added you. How do you use these tools to recruit?
Thanks Alexandra, are you a full time employee of Cisco?
I agree there dhdeans, but proving this level of detail is going to be very difficult to ascertain.
What's interesting is that I know about 33% of these folks professionally, have met them, or they were former clients. Those listed at the top of most of these sections I can personally vouch for and know about their programs.
You have the honor working with Steve? Sounds like a powerhouse team. Added.
Holly thanks
Vince does a good job discussing the programs on his LinkedIn page, there wasn't as much on Keith's page, but I'm going off your recommendation.
Nice to meet you, added Colleen
Done. Thanks Frank.
Nice to know Sonny, I added you
Did I meet you or your colleague Aneta at Shel's place? Added by the way.
Steve
Nice to meet you. Can you better help me understand your job? Are you a consultant that helps clients with social media? Or, are you working in marketing or support that uses social to reach prospects and customers?
Thanks Michael, added.
I've added her thanks Jane
Hiya Ben, I'm sure we'll be chatting soon. Added.
Donna, I wasn't sure what your LinkedIn profile is, can you please submit?
You work with Jeannette? Well I hope we cross paths soon. Added.
Melissa, I have simliar questions to others with consultant title. Are you working at CareerBuilder as a full time employee? Can you help me understand? I wasn't sure from your profile.
Bill, how could I forget you! Added.
Kate. Nice meeting you. Can you help me understand your role? I had similar questions with other folks that are consulting, are you a full time employee of Panasonic? I'm seeking folks in FTE positions. Say hi to the crayon folks!
Thanks Keith, I added you.
Yes, I'm at the Times Sq offices. Would love to get a coffee and talk shop if you have time during your visit!

Hi Jeremiah! I would be thrilled to be on your list of Corporate Social Media Strategists… I work for AAA of Northern California, Nevada & Utah as their Social Media Strategist (working on internal as well as external SM strategies) & Senior Online Product Manager for eBusiness (primarily our Discounts and Telematics/Mobile lines of business).
You can see my LinkedIn profile at http://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimee. As a side note, I'm speaking at the Social Media & Community 2.0 Strategies Conference (http://www.iirusa.com/socialmedia) on May 3rd in Boston where your partner Charlene is giving the keynote – looking forward to introducing myself there if I get the chance.
Thanks Jeremiah! I'm a regular reader of your blog — where I've gained more valuable insight than anywhere else — and an avid follower on Twitter 🙂
Hello Jerimiah. I would like to ask for review of my profile on LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/in/vjaeckel . You'll be able to see that I am a featured speaker on Social Media issues during the Automotive DIgital Dealer Conferences and contributing editor for the Digital Dealer Magazine. I am further the Digital Marketing and Social Media Ambassador for the Cobalt Group, Seattle (the leading Automotive Marketing Services company). I appreciate your time and wanted thank you in advance for taking a “peek”…respectfully @VJnator
Jeremiah – LinkedIn profile is at http://uk.linkedin.com/in/niallcook. Be keen to get listed in the Social Media Strategist section under the Business Services sector.
Jeremiah, understood. But, I'm not questioning if you know these people, or if they are in fact “managing” the programs for the companies that employ them. In contrast, I'm merely making the observation that many don't appear to have an apparent history of substantive online engagement.
Thanks Jeremiah! I've been in NY for the past week attending Legal Tech and other meetings. When I get back to Jerusalem, I'd love to set up a Skype video interview if you have some time. I know you are busy so anything you can do will be great. Mike
Hi Jeremiah (and Alin – can't wait to have dinner this week!),
I saw this string after I posted my last comment. One of the big things we are working on this year is creating engaging opportunities for lawyers on our network. Helping them to see how social media platforms can be a useful part of their workflow rather than a distraction is one of our main goals. By using more evolved social tools than email, time can be saved, best practices better shared, and clients better served.
As Alin mentioned our most powerful offerings are member events, where we focus on a topic for about a week or two. Most recently we did one called “Navigating the Ethical Pitfalls of Social Media,” which culminated in a webinar for CLE credits. Along with our panelists we plan on crowdsourcing an e-book on this topic to be presented to the community at the end of March.
The skype video interview I keep bugging you about (=P) is another tool we are using to give people a voice in our community. I have posted 5 of these so far on our YouTube channel and my goal is to collect at least 30 by the end of the year, highlighting the work of lawyers, social media experts, and technology innovators. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/user/MartindaleHubbell
Hope you can check out our community, and it would be great to get your feedback.
Thanks,
Mike
Jeremiah,
My bad. I should have made it clearer, I am an internal employee community manager, ergo, I should be added to the former list under Social Media Strategists at Corporations. Could you add an 'r' to the end of my company's name, please? It should read 'Reed Elsevier'.
I don't know how you keep up with all the comments/replies. Nice job Jeremiah.
Mike
Hi Jeremiah,
Nice speaking with you the other day! I have a new role at HP as chief blogger and community manager hp.com/appstudio, an online portal for customers of web-connected printers.

Please consider adding me to your list of Community Managers at Corporations/Technology, Hardware, Networking, Component, Computer.

My new boss, Kevin Doohan (http://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindoohan), and counterpart, Nate Warner (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/nate-warner/1/217/85), who now leads Red Bull's global social strategy from our Salzburg HQ, would both slot nicely into your CPG Strategists categories.

Great job on this Jeremiah. First rate!
Hi Jeremiah, this is a great resource. If you decide to expand the list to non-US folks, I would be thrilled to be in the Financial Services list: http://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisngpg.
Yes, I'm thrilled to part of Jeanette's new team. I'm based in Seattle but hopefully will bump in to you at one of the CA events this spring or summer. Thanks for adding me to the list.
I'd very much appreciate being included in this conversation. In addition to educating staff and customers on our solutions, I also wear a community manager hat for an ever-growing portion of my work week.

Yes, we did meet during Shel's book release breakfast… I'd like to think you remembered b/c I had something interesting to say, but in fact we talked about the “hub-and-spoke” model of social media governance in corporate America… sounds familiar? Thanks for adding me.

Hey Jeremiah,
Thanks for including me and Len! While Polly doesn't officially work in SM or Community, her passion for social media has certainly helped us move forward by showing employees that VPs too “get it” and the power of social media as an effective channel for recruiting new talent. We're lucky to have such a great group of voices!
Cheers,
Jamie
WOW good compilation, would you happen to know where I could find a list for India
Nicolas. Thanks for submitting, there's a certain threshold of number of employees, LinkedIn shows Maddock Douglas as having 70, let me know if LI is incorrect.
But of course! I remember you Steve. added.
But of course! I hope we'll be talking soon.
Thanks Jim! I looked at your company's profile on LinkedIn, is the number of employees listed as correct? This list has a threshold of 1000 min, let me know if LI is incorrect.
Thanks Michael, added.
This is a global list Chris. I've been to Singapore and love it! Can you please update your LinkedIn profile and list out how you've used social media? That's a criteria for this list.
Kim thanks!
Added you! Thanks Chase
Sorry for delay Sherri, I've done this!
Thanks Stuart, added.
Thanks Niall. I'm holding off on agencies for the time being, as the list would become unmanageable.
Can you help me understand? Are you in corporate marketing at H&K that represents the brand that is called H&K?
or, are you customer facing?
Jaimee
Thank you for the kind words –that inspires me to do more. I've added you under business services.
This is done Eran, great to meet you.
Laura
It was great speaking to your team recently on a briefing. Right now, this list is for enterprise class companies, please let me know if LinkedIn's count of Mr Youth's employee base is incorrect.
Thanks Tiffany.
There are flaws to this methodology, but the research required to find out their extensive backgrounds isn't within my means.
I am however, doing research on key themes and trends across these roles –more to come.
You're on there Michael, thank you for replying.
How do I keep up? Passion and commitment to the industry.
I'm sure we'll be crossing paths very shortly.
Justin
This list isn't about honor, you've earned it, we look forward to seeing what you do.
Erin
Wow, I just saw your comment two weeks ago, I don't know how it evaded me, sorry, that wasn't intentional.
I've added you. I'm close to Palo Alto btw.
Terri
I found your company page, it meets the threshold number. I'm so sorry to be a pain, but could you please update your LinkedIn profile page with details on how you're using social? I'm taking the time to vet this list and want to keep it at a certain level of consistency.
I'm not picking on you, honest! Thanks, and email me if you get stuck.
jko
Thanks Melissa, but I still see Softcom on LinkedIn being less than 200 folks.
Thanks David, we may reach out to you.
Aha! Well I hope to see you shortly.
I added Nick thanks
Thanks Brian, I have such a hard time keeping track sometimes!
Gotcha. added.
Thanks Robyn, I miss chatting with you too. Please let me know when Elsa's profile is up to date.
I'll have to return on an empty stomach, I always bring it home –never waste!
Don't know how this fits into your list(s) exactly, but check out my new job as Director of Social Engagement for Microsoft's U.S. Public Sector division: http://www.briansolis.com/2010/01/my-new-job-co…
Great list. Humbly asking to be included as I oversee Aflac's B2C & B2B social media, social business, and online brand monitoring & response.

Thanks.

awesome and thanks Jeremiah! cheers, sam
Jeremiah, you can quickly determine real online engagement, and it's easy to get the background on any individual. Just perform a Google search with the person's name in quotes — like “david h deans” — and you'll see if they're an active “practitioner” (with multiple profiles, a history of commentary, and a meaningful point of view). With this simple test, you can then list people who have truly “earned” the right to be profiled as a corporate SM strategy leader.
Please add me. I am both a social media strategist and community manager in Technology, Hardware, Networking, Component, Computer

It is not correct JO – we are just over 100 (recently acquired a Canadian office in Vancouver) – not sure if that meets your threshold. We are niche innovation people, but our clients are 25% of the Fortune 100 so that's gotta count for something 🙂
I nominate Joe Rogel for the list under the retail section. He manages social media for Gaiam, Inc. and his personal twitter profile is: http://twitter.com/granolajoe . Gaiam's is http://twitter.com/gaiam . Joe deserves recognition for being a social media though leader here in Denver, Colorado.

Dear,
I will like to go into business relationship with you, after going through your profile and I prayed over it and selected your name among other names due to the nature of my proposal, which requires a reputable and trustworthy person. Someone, who will be kind and sincere to me.
l am Miss emelia the only daughter of late Mr and Mrs Edward John. My father was a very wealthy cocoa merchant in Ghana here, the economic capital of accra Ghana, he was poisoned to death by his business associates on one of their business meeting. My mother died on the 22nd may 1987 and my father took me so special because l am motherless.
Before the death of my father on 10th Jun 2010 in a private hospital here in Ghana, he secretly called me on his bedside, when I sat down to listen to him, he started crying, why? (1) He complained that I am too young to be managing my life with no one to take care of me,(2)That I have not finished my university education as he planned for me, he revealed to me that he has a sum of (US$4.500.000.)(Four Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) left in a security company here in Ghana that he used my name as the only daughter for his next of kin in deposit of the funds.
He also explained to me that it was because of this wealth that he was poisoned by his business associates, that l should seek for a God fearing foreign partner in any country of my choice where l will transfer this money and use it for proper investment purpose, that I must finish my university education by the help of a business partner abroad, that he or she should help me obtain a resident permit in his or her country. He also gave a standing instruction to the company that the deposit must be transferred outside this country. According to my father, the money was deposited as art works to avoid attracting attention to the deposit.
I am now ready to do all these since my father my bread winner is no more. l am honestly seeking your assistance in the following ways.
(1) To serve as my guardian in your country while I will depend on your expert advice since l am a girl of 26years.
(2) To make arrangement for me to come over to your country in order to further my university education and to secure a residential permit for me in your country.
Moreover, l am willing to offer you 15% of the total sum as compensation for your assistance in the transfer of this deposit to your country. Furthermore, you can indicate your option towards assisting me as l believed that this project would be concluded within seven days you signify interest to assist me by contacting the security company.
Hoping to hearing from you soon. May God bless you as you extend your helping hand to the needy. Please reply me urgently.
Love
Miss Emelia.
hi this is Vincent Lee @liblog from China, working for Edelman Digital. Great list!
They even panned a few times on the “altimeter” you had by the bookcase. You had a colleague who presented with you that came more from the tech side which provided a nice balance.
I think the 4) Must be on brand side requirement is a bit myopic. It would leave aside people like Jennifer Schultz who is the community manager for the Jive implementation at United Health Group. Certainly you don’t mean to indicate that social media is only about brand communications? ;=}
Yes! I was checking this site again and saw that you had replied. I realize it’s a year later. 🙂
I would like to be considered for addition to this list in the Technology category. I am one of two new members to Len Devanna’s Social team at EMC Corporation.
