Vancouver, BC - May 18, 2022—Hootsuite welcomes Sherry Johnson as sales director in its first official US hub in Atlanta. The social media management leader looks forward to rapid expansion in the region, with plans to hire more than 60 Atlanta-based positions by the end of 2022.
Johnson brings extensive leadership experience to Hootsuite with nearly 20 years spent in sales across multiple industries including technology and pharmaceuticals.
"With over half of the world’s population on social media, social has become one of the most effective ways for businesses to connect with their audiences," said Sherry Johnson, Head of Sales in Atlanta, Hootsuite. "Hootsuite is a pioneer and global leader in social media management software—I look forward to sharing my expertise and working synergistically with the team in the next level of the company's growth and success."
Hootsuite empowers its people to choose where and how they work either in the office, remotely, or as a combination. The Vancouver headquartered company’s 15 global offices, referred to as “Nests,” are flexible and creative hubs built for collaboration and social connection.
The Hootsuite Atlanta office is in the WeWork Coda—a LEED Platinum office facility and center of innovation in Midtown Atlanta‘s Tech Square.
“We are thrilled to welcome Hootsuite to WeWork Coda,” said Errol Williams, Territory Vice President at WeWork. “As more and more companies adopt hybrid work solutions that support employees' ability to choose when, where and how they work, WeWork’s flexibility is providing solutions for companies of all sizes and needs. Hootsuite is a leader in embracing a distributed workforce, and we’re excited to welcome their newest Nest to the WeWork Atlanta community.”
The new Atlanta office features collaborative and relaxed soft-seating areas, sound-proof phone booths, ergonomic chairs, gender-neutral and accessible bathrooms, sit-stand desks, a dedicated wellness room, biophilia across the whole space and art and whiteboards in most meeting rooms.
The design of the Atlanta office followsHootsuite’s Vancouver HQ redesign. Looking ahead, Hootsuite is examining each of its workspaces to see how it can make changes to ensure they are more inclusive and prioritize employee wellness. Collaborative areas, wellness rooms, the Robin app and added biophilia are just some of the features that are planned for other Hootsuite workspaces.
In early April, Hootsuite also announced the appointment of its new Chief Product Officer, Natalia Williams. Williams is based in Hootsuite’s new Atlanta office, and is a graduate of Georgia State University, a valued Hootsuite customer and partner.
