"Yext keeps evolving and I recently got promoted to the Brand Experience Team after being an Enterprise BDR. This is exactly where I’d hoped to be in my career."
I was a new mom when my previous employer – another SaaS company – announced they were relocating to Texas. I heard about Yext through the grapevine and secured an interview. I fell in love with the company, the Yext office, culture, and employee benefits. Yext keeps evolving and I recently got promoted to the Brand Experience Team after being an Enterprise BDR. This is exactly where I'd hoped to be in my career.
My name is Jazmine - but everyone calls me Jazzy or Jazz! I come from a Caribbean-American background with two siblings (I'm the middle child). I am the founder of Balloonsbyjazzzy and a mother of two toddlers - Jamie & Jade (Yext baby) + 1 fur baby! (SJ - Pomeranian). I enjoy mommy-life, dance classes, watching movies, creating TikToks / Reels, and hosting events.
Super busy, in addition to having two toddlers running in circles around me! I recently started my new role and I have been learning all the logistics behind planning a successful Yext event. I work with numerous teams throughout the organization – so I'm typically in a lot of back-to-back meetings. I'm still on-boarding so I have a ton to learn. I also support the CBU Org (small biz/mm AEs).
Lately, I've been focused on the Reunion at the Search Bar Roadshow, where we travel to 34 markets and host 40+ events. To gear up for that, I've been creating copy for invitations and building out the invite landing pages. I send out hundreds of invites with the appropriate contacts cc'd for each event daily. I also build out and keep track of numerous reports, including registrations. I work with vendors to secure entertainment and floral arrangements for the venues, and help out my teammates as much as I can. Very soon I will be in the field and adding more to my day.
One of my favorite highlights would have to be when Howard Lerman invited me to sit in on a strategy session with Brian Distelburger, David Rudnitsky, and other stakeholders around the organization. At the time, we had just secured several big meetings within a few weeks with the No Wrong Answers campaign. Each company we reached out to was worth more than a billion dollars in annual revenue. Howard emailed me directly requesting to meet: "You are the BEST. Are you in NYC? I'd like to meet you tomorrow." When I walked in the room I was so nervous! I was also 7 months pregnant with my daughter at that time. Howard had every single person at the table clap for me. That's when I knew how much he cared for his employees and how important quality vs quantity is at Yext.

Previous success at another company doesn't always guarantee success at a new one. Everyone is on their own timeline and you're going to make many, many mistakes – it's okay if it takes you a little longer than others.
