As a 9-year veteran of DLT, Christine is involved in various initiatives enriching the lives of DLT employees, both personally and professionally. She works closely with Chris Laggini, the vice president of human resources on internal and external communications and programs designed to promote and foster DLT’s culture of fairness, fun, hard work and results.

Christine is civilly-minded and fully believes in public service. Among other things, she chairs the DLT social committee that works with the DLT Foundation to raise funds for charity and organize employee service events. In the community, Christine serves as an officer in Centreville Quilters Unlimited – a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting an understanding of the art of quilting through continuing educational services.  She also currently serves as a mentor in the Women in Technology (WIT) Mentor/Protégé Program. She has extensive volunteer experience both overseas and domestically with various humanitarian and community service organizations.

In her more than fifteen years of experience, Christine Schaefer has had proven success in B2B and B2G marketing and public relations, most often in the information technology industry. Most recently, Christine has used her expertise to drive demand for the products and services of DLT Solutions and its vendor partners including Autodesk, Google, NetApp, Oracle, Red Hat and Symantec, among others.

As the vice president of marketing at DLT, Christine oversees a team of marketing and Web professionals, who are organized in an agency-like fashion to support the company’s six major sales divisions. She is numbers and results driven in her current role, creating entire systems to transform marketing from an art to a science. In conjunction with HR, she also designed and co-manages the entry-level Corporate Sales Associate Program at DLT, an on-the-job training program for all entry-level sales associates joining the company.

Christine’s agency-like model at DLT is no coincidence. She has been heavily influenced by her prior experience in public relations and B2B marketing. Immediately prior to DLT, Christine worked for the marketing and public relations agency Stackig (acquired by TMP Worldwide) as an account executive for various telecom and IT clients.  In her distant past, she worked for a small, commercial printing firm advising clients on their marketing communications and direct mail programs.

Christine graduated cum laude from Marymount University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration in Marketing. She completed her Master’s of Science degree in Sociology at Auburn University.
