We are pleased to announce Liza Sperling as the Gist user who will be joining us at Defrag in Denver, November 11-12.

It was a very difficult decision as many of you did great things to help spread the word about Gist.  THANK YOU to everyone who participated!  We could only select one winner and will be sending many others a bit of Gist ’schwag’ to thank you for your efforts.

Liza did a great job of spreading the word about Gist including inviting many new users, tirelessly tweeting, and giving us some great feedback.  She currently works at Scout Labs and here is a bit of info that she shared with us:

Liza Sperling

Liza moved to San Francisco after ten years on Wall Street in NYC and as an entrepreneur in Jackson Hole,WY, and did we mention she grew up in Nawlins?! Don’t be fooled by her seemingly straight-laced resume, though, Liza rocks technology and social media.

I AM A: Straight shooter | Unabashed Geek | Quick learner | Fast talker | Heavy walker | Loud laugher | Natural born evangelist | Killer negotiator | Devil’s advocate | Book worm | Organizational freak | NYC refugee | Nawlins’ girl | Award winning apple-bobber | Enemy of passive aggression | Friend of imperfection | Believer that life’s not fair, but it’s fun | Curious georgette | Dog lover | Certified Mounted Police Patrol Officer (And, yes, I have a badge & uniform to prove it)

If you know Liza, congratulate her for a job well done.  If you don’t, reach out and introduce yourself.

Thanks again to everyone who participated and be sure to check out Defrag.  It is a great gathering of smart people and organizer Eric Norlin really knows how to put a great event together.

The response was huge and we’ll be doing more things like this going forward.
