Donna Hegdahl - President and CEO
For large corporations, she and her team bring specialized skills, jump into assignments internal staff doesn’t have time to do, manage projects that don’t fit within the scope of other agencies, and provide a flexible team on initiatives with multiple changes in scope.
She has helped hundreds of small and mid-sized companies successfully get their message to the marketplace and grow their businesses. For entrepreneurial startups, she teaches them how to apply marketing principles at their own companies through strategic consulting services, public relations, seminars and workshops.
Hegdahl’s expertise includes all aspects of strategic and tactical marketing and communications.
Hegdahl has more than 30 years experience in marketing, communications, management, and customer service. Hegdahl was vice president at Micronyx, a Richardson-based software company. Ultimately, the company was sold to PC utility specialists, Fifth Generation Systems, and then merged with Symantec’s Peter Norton Group. She was also instrumental in the marketing success of Comtrol, a Minnesota-based hardware manufacturer, named to Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 500 list of fastest-growing high-tech firms in 1986 and 1987.
Hegdahl is active in the local business community including:
- Women’s Business Council-Southwest
