A New Addition to the Sprouter Team

We’ve been a team of four people at Sprouter for almost two years (not counting a few awesome interns who have helped along the way), so we’re excited to announce a new addition to the team today! Jon Spenceley starts today as Sprouter’s new Community Manager, and our fifth team member. Jon comes to us from Freshbooks, where he spent almost three years on the customer support team. He was also responsible for support on the Freshbooks Twitter account, for many posts on the company blog, and for organizing company parties and customer meetups. He has led panels at South by Southwest Interactive and several other events across North America.

Our newest hire Jon Spenceley

Jon will be running our Sprout Up events, working with our panel of experts to expand the Q&A in 2012, and helping our community of users, evangelists and entrepreneurs to leverage our service.

Jon is passionate about customer service, running events, and creating happy workplaces (bonus for us). He’s excited to dive into the world of startups, and bring his own flair to the Sprouter team! Say hello to him on Twitter at @jonspenceley, find him on Sprouter at sprouter.com/jonspenceley, and email him at jon@sprouter.com.

Welcome to the Sprouter team Jon!

Thanks for all the love, everyone! I’m definitely stoked to be part of this team, and looking forward to working with the Sprouter community!

Man Jon, congrats. I knew something was up when you were updating your linkedin a couple days ago, although I’d assumed you were getting a promotion at FreshBooks or something.

I’m sure everyone at FB is sad to see you go, but congrats on your move.
