This week, Nikki and Ali G speak with Elisa Ochoa, Client Advisor at Skellig Automation.
They met Elisa at the Inductive Automation Ignition Community Conference in Folsom recently and had to have her on the show to learn more.
Elisa moved to LA from Mexico for college and became a DeltaV engineer who recently made the move into a client advisory (ghasp sales) role at a systems integrator!
They talk of the importance of finding the right fit for a solution, the negative perception of sales, and Elisa's own journey with podcasting. Check out her podcast Derrumbando El Muro (if you speak spanish).

Co-Hosts are Alicia Gilpin Director of Engineering at Process and Controls Engineering LLC, and Nikki Gonzales Head of Partnerships at Quotebeam

Elisa Ochoa
Client Advisor, Podcaster, Latin Fashion Addict
My name is Elisa Ochoa, I am a client advisor for Skellig & basically my role is understanding the client's automation goals to connect them with the engineer that have the right technics & recommend the perfect technology to help them achieve their goals. After 3 years of being a DeltaV engineer & realized that my "forte" is my people skills & I was burring them behind the computer. So I combined my engineering mind with my people skills to get myself into this role. What mostly helped develop my people skills was...starting a podcast! After 35 episodes published & building different relationships, I realized I love it & now I apply everything I learned to my job! I have a lot to share as a Mexican that moved into LA for college at 19 and decided to stay in this beautiful but chaotic city.
