Alumni Focus: Jennifer Slaughter

For more than 25 years Turner College alumna Jennifer Slaughter has worked closely with business and IT executives across all industries in order to help them transform their business and achieve their objectives through the use of technology.  Much of this work has been done by Slaughter under the banner of some of the world’s most recognizable companies.  She is currently the Area Vice President for Strategic Accounts at Adobe, a position she has held for almost three years.  In this position, Slaughter formally launched Adobe’s consumer goods vertical.  Prior to that she achieved 132% attainment, driving customer success across the entire business.  In her first position with Adobe – Senior Enterprise Account Executive – Slaughter was named Digital Experience Sales Executive of the Year for achieving 445% of her business quota.

Slaughter came to Adobe in 2014 from a senior account executive position with Zimbra, which she joined in July of 2010.  This experience was preceded by two years at Oracle, where Slaughter also worked as a senior account executive.  Her earliest work experience includes a professional services directorship with Skyware Software, and engineering and programming posts at Docucorp International and TSYS, respectively.  Thus, like other business professionals profiled here at Turner Business, Slaughter’s career includes a transition from the technology space to the management arena.  In her case, as in others, this transition was facilitated by her Turner College education.  Slaughter earned a bachelor’s degree in business, with a focus in management information systems, from the Turner College in 1995.  She followed that educational milestone with another just two years later, in 1997, when she received an MBA from CSU’s Turner College.  Finally, Slaughter has maintained a commitment to servant leadership, a core value at CSU, through her volunteer work on the board of the Technology Association of Georgia, a philanthropic endeavor that has been ongoing since 2013.
