Description

In our 14th episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Reggie Wideman, a seasoned professional with experience ranging from start-ups to tech and marketing for renowned brands such as Nike, Salesforce, and Marvel. Reggie's passion for building relationships is matched only by his appreciation for the serenity that follows a job well done. Throughout his career, he has remained committed to making a positive impact on the world around him. Join us as we delve into Reggie's strategies for managing anxiety, insights on current corporate mental health trends, and his advocacy work, including the annual video series, "One Minute for Mental Health," released during Mental Health Awareness Month (#MHAM).

Reggie Wideman

Reggie Wideman is an extroverted introvert. He loves building relationships just as much as he loves the quiet after a job well done. He’ll often gleefully get his hands dirty, if only so that he can clean up and do it over again. He's had a lot of different roles, but mostly in tech and marketing for CPG brands. He focuses on the value he can bring into the lives of the people around him and the world at large. He is a leader and an advocate. He's a problem solver and friendly dissenter. He's great counsel and a quite good friend.

Throughout his 23 year career he has worked with iconic brands and industry leaders including Activision, adidas, American Express, Caesars Entertainment, Caterpillar, Coca-Cola, Marvel Comics, Michelin, Nike and Toyota to achieve success through digital innovation. His professional tenure includes various agencies and start up’s as well as stints at WellsFargo, Cisco and Salesforce. Reggie was the chief of staff and head of strategy for Lytics, a Customer Data Platform (CDP) with data-rich machine learning and artificial intelligence.

He also serves as a board member with the not for profit Write Around Portland, Co-Chair of the Technology Association of Oregon's Tech in Color community, and advocates for mental health through an annual video series during Mental Health Awareness Month (#MHAM) called One Minute for Mental Health. Reggie holds a BA in Philosophy from Goucher College, is an avid writer, and the best Dad in the world (according to his daughters).
