Tina Cox
Tina Cox combines strong leadership skills in managing large company communication operations with a unique ability to marshal IT resources to meet traditional and cutting edge communication needs. Over the course of a well-rounded internal communication career, her ability to think both strategically and tactically have been an asset to an impressive roster of companies.
At PeopleSoft, purchased by Oracle for $10 billion in 2005, Tina founded the internal communication function and built a communication infrastructure to support the organization’s rapid expansion from 1,000 to 10,000 employees. She assisted the founding CEO with all his communication programming, and led all strategic companywide communication around brand strategy, business issues, acquisitions, organizational changes and crisis communication. She also designed and oversaw implementation of PeopleSoft’s first intranet.
At Robert Mondavi Corporation, Tina initiated the first companywide internal communication function. She managed the communication strategy there through five acquisitions and divestments, started leadership and field sales communication forums and implemented enhancements to the company’s vision and values. She also led the effort to introduce the company’s first intranet, Connect, which was recognized as an industry leader by CIO Magazine.
Tina has built from the ground up or redesigned a dozen company intranets. Over the course of these projects, she evaluated competing technologies, managed production timelines and integrated disparate websites to form a single enterprise website. In every project, Tina is skilled at building and ambassadorship within large organizations for new programs and to support companywide cultural change.
Tina holds a B.S. from the University of Southern California, with a Marketing emphasis. Tina and her husband make and sell 5,000 cases of award-winning Pinot Noir every year near their home in Sonoma, California.
