I’m fascinated by the world of automated and smarter buildings, even though I’m not an industry expert. My background is in sales, onboarding, and support, honed through years of experience at Shopify and Functionfox Systems. My connection to this industry comes from my family and my passion for learning. To contribute to the conversation, I actively research and create content based on insights from industry sponsors and the valuable resources available on AutomatedBuildings.com. It’s a constant learning process, but I’m excited to explore this evolving landscape and contribute to its growth. I look forward to connecting with our sponsors and contributors and creating a community around AutomatedBuildings.com. www.linkedin.com/in/KellyJSinclair00
