Yvette Ferry is a recruiter, a small-business specialist, a human resources consultant, and a writer. After spending 10 years in the management-consulting industry as an administrative and human resources manager, she founded Ferry and Company, a professional network of service providers comprised of small businesses, entrepreneurs, and freelancers.
A natural communicator and people-connector, Yvette likes to quip that she’s been knee-deep in social media since 1852. In the early days of the Internet, she was a regular Usenet user and contributor and recognized its rich potential for engaging large audiences around specific areas of interest. She was a system administrator and moderator for CompuServe’s pets forums and moderated topical online chats in the earliest days of AOL Chat. She also blogs.
Yvette is a member of several new-media organizations and speaks regularly at local events about new media and social recruiting. She enjoys introducing existing and emerging technologies to small companies, for intra- and extra-organizational communications.
Today, Yvette is helping to create the South Florida chapter of Digital Media Alliance Florida, a non-profit media-industry association created to bridge digital media, digital arts, and digital entertainment companies, institutions, and professionals throughout the state.
She lives in Miami, Florida.
