Trainer CEO wins Woman Entrepreneur of the Year award
Mike Maynard
Congratulations to Susan Thomas, CEO and founder of Trainer Communications, a great American agency who we’re proud to have as one of our partners. Susan has been named the 2010 Women’s Initiative Woman Entrepreneur of the Year for Pleasanton, California. With more than 600 nominations, the competition was very tough, but at Napier, we weren’t surprised to hear the news: Susan has built an agency that delivers some of the best campaigns we’ve seen. Well done to Susan and the team at Trainer that gives her such great support.
In 2001 Mike acquired Napier with Suzy Kenyon. Since that time he has directed major PR and marketing programmes for a wide range of technology clients. He is actively involved in developing the PR and marketing industries, and is Chair of the PRCA B2B Group, and lectures in PR at Southampton Solent University. Mike offers a unique blend of technical and marketing expertise, and was awarded a Masters Degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Surrey and an MBA from Kingston University.
