“How I Work”: Margaret Dawson, Vice President, Portfolio Product Marketing at Red Hat @seattledawson #HowIWork

By Matt Heinz, President of Heinz Marketing
“How I Work” is one of my favorite recurring features in Inc Magazine as well as via Lifehacker’s This Is How I Work Series, and recently several sales experts (including  Anthony Iannarino, Dave Brock and Trish Bertuzzi) participated in our series as well.
Weekly, on Thursdays, we feature a new B2B sales, marketing or business leader here answering “How I Work” questions.  You can catch up on everyone we’ve featured thus far in the “How I Work” series here.
This week I’m excited to feature Margaret Dawson, vice president of portfolio product marketing at Red Hat.  Margaret has led marketing teams at companies such as HP, Microsoft, Amazon and more.   She began her career as a foreign correspondent for Business Week and continues to advice start-ups and nonprofits on a regular basis.
Here, in her own words, is how she gets stuff done.
