Biography
"I've always believed that there is no point in going into business unless you're going to make an enormous and positive difference." - Richard Branson
MY SITE: http://www.espreedevora.com
"Not only was Espree incredibly knowledgeable, but she immediately motivated me to tap into the power of social media"; Cathleen Calkins
Espree Devora, aka “the Girl who Gets it Done”, builds relationships at Apptopia. Her passion has always been connecting people who mutually benefit from knowing one another. She creates innovative ways for developers and buyers to discover the valuable resource Apptopia provides them; to easily sell and buy quality mobile applications.
She founded ZexSports, a digital media company that connected brands to youth through local action sports events. Now, a decade later, she has given talks on interactive content and social media to organizations such as CBS, South by Southwest Interactive, International Association of Skateboard Companies and USC Executive MBA. She co-produced the panel "WHERE’S WALDO? Finding Social Influencers & Decreasing Your Costs" which brought in over 11,500 viewers in under an hour via live stream, making it the highest viewed independent panel at the time.
Her secret personal hobby is taking pics of cool sneakers for her photo blog Sneaks Attack using the Posterous mobile app on her phone.

Chris Vieville, Community Manager | Snap Engage
Passion is something many people talk about but Espree lives it! I count myself as one of the few, the lucky... dare I say brave individuals that have been lucky enough to bask in her glow. When she visited our site oh so many moons ago her enthusiasm about our app was palpable. Like a wildfire raging through a canyon of tinder dry scrub grass Espree was sending new customers to our site left and right. Not only was Espree jumping up and down about our app she was constantly sending me links and emails about a new cool app or company she had come across in her travels. This girl is awesome, she loves, lives and leverages tech like nobody else I know.

Social Media as Business Strategy
Technology is supposed to save professionals time by becoming more efficient. Though most executives get lost in the "noise" of the web rather than use it to our advantage. With a clear understanding of how and why to use specific social tools you will regain time and attract a network of fans that will embrace and evangelize your brand on a grassroots level.
