Kristin Oblon

After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in management in 1993, Kristin worked for Pharmacia & Upjohn in their technical marketing group to assist representatives in the field as well as collaborate with management in the Midwest Sales office. In 1997, she co-founded DesignTech Solutions, an online marketing, advertising and website creation company just at the very beginning of the internet-business website boom. After recognition for being a pioneer in the business website creation space, Orbitz recruited her to join their emerging company on the day they went public and worked closely with the C suite on some of their most significant online tools, email marketing, and website features. She also worked on developing and improving their overall strategy, driving revenue, to become one of the top online travel sites in the world at the time. Today, Kristin uses her background in management, advertising, marketing, and business development to assist Gold Key in overall business strategy.
