Powerful Women in Consumer Technology 2019: Elizabeth Parks

What accomplishments are you most proud of in your career?

I love working with people long term in an environment where hard work breeds success, customer service stands out, and where I can feel the impact of our team’s efforts. I am proud of the events we have successfully hosted, especially our CONNECTIONS Conference, which is in its 24th year in 2020. Being noted as a reliable and trusted resource for data and analysis for companies ranging from SMBs to Fortune 100 companies is a great accomplishment for Parks Associates.
