About Tamara Gielen
Bridging Marketing, IT, and AI
With over two decades of experience in digital marketing, I've evolved from an email marketing pioneer to a catalyst for AI-driven transformation. Currently, as the IT Business Relationship & Communications Manager at Materialise, I bridge the gap between IT and business, cultivating strong stakeholder relationships and driving strategic Generative AI initiatives. |
My Journey
My passion for email marketing began long before AI became a buzzword. After holding key roles at Cognos, eBay, and OgilvyOne Worldwide, where I managed international email marketing programs, I launched my own consultancy in 2008. As an independent consultant, I've had the privilege of guiding both small and larger enterprise companies in optimizing their digital marketing strategies.
Embracing the AI Revolution
In recent years, I've become deeply passionate about the potential of AI for knowledge workers. I'm constantly exploring new ways to leverage AI tools to enhance creativity, productivity, and decision-making. My approach is all about finding the perfect balance between cutting-edge technology and the irreplaceable human touch in marketing and business in general.
I believe that AI is not just a tool, but an augmentation of our intelligence. It's about learning how to collaborate effectively with AI to achieve better results and solve complex problems more efficiently.
Continuous Learning and Sharing
I'm committed to staying at the cutting edge of AI. My recent certifications include:
As a hands-on practitioner, I'm deeply committed to sharing my knowledge. I offer tailored workshops and training sessions, both online and in-person, to help marketers and leaders at all levels harness the power of the latest AI tools. My goal is not just to inspire, but to give people practical tools they can immediately apply in their work.
Beyond Marketing
When I'm not immersed in the world of marketing and AI, you'll find me riding one of my motorcycles. I'm passionate about motorcycling and have been managing a motorcycle community for over a decade. This community spirit carries over into my professional life, where I love bringing people together and fostering connections.
My Philosophy
I believe in living life to the fullest and not taking ourselves too seriously. In both my personal and professional life, I strive to add value, bring people together, and share knowledge. I'm always eager to learn from others and believe that the fastest route to unhappiness is caring too much about what others think of you.
Let's Connect
I'm always eager to connect with fellow marketers, AI enthusiasts, and anyone passionate about learning and growth. Whether you're looking to supercharge your email campaigns with AI, integrate AI into your daily workflow, or just chat about the future of AI, I'd love to hear from you.
