Tracey Jannusch; International Woman of Mystery
Vanessa Porteous

International, indeed!

Tracey began her professional career as a Coordinator with EMI recording studios in her hometown of Sydney, Australia. She later joined Sony’s Artist Repertoire department where she helped launch Midnight Oil into the US Market.

After the music business and desirous of a more corporate experience, Tracey joined NutraSweet where she became involved in the first successful branded ingredient strategy. Think of all those little red and white NutraSweet swirls you see on your diet cola can. Tracey made it happen.

Has Visa, Will Travel.

Tracey’s position with Nutrasweet provided her with the opportunity to travel the globe. Based in Paris, she made frequent business trips to South and East Africa marketing a sugar replacement strategy. “My most unusual work related experience was visiting Uganda for the first time and in the midst of Civil War clean up. I arrived at the Sheraton Hotel and the front lawn was absolutely covered in vultures.”

Three years later Tracey returned to Australia and began her career in Information Technology with IBM. During her career at IBM she worked in Australia and New Zealand for IBM’s Global Services providing channels for small to medium businesses, moved to their Asia Pacific division in Tokyo selling mid-range outsourcing, and finally landed in New York. “I spent far too much time trying to get into and out of LaGuardia airport,” she recalls of her time spent in the Big Apple.

Tracey recently moved to Toronto to live with her partner and while she hasn’t had much opportunity to sight see, she really enjoyed her visit to Banff and Jasper and thinks the skiing in Canada is great. “My biggest adjustment has been figuring out what to wear. I’ve never had to buy a coat and gloves before.”

Sales & Marketing 2001

“First of all I would like to establish a Sales & Marketing organization at Ezenet that demonstrates what Sales and Marketing is. As Ezenet grows and makes more acquisitions we will be positioned to contribute to Ezenet’s success.”

Also important is establishing communication programs at Ezenet. As we grow it’s important that we are well informed of what’s going on at Ezenet in all departments and with our customers. By starting this newsletter we hope to accomplish these things and more. 

Equally important are external communications to our investors, analysts, customers and others important to Ezenet’s success.
