With 25+ years of experience in technology companies, he’s developed a passion for unifying diverse teams to accelerate achievement of strategic goals.

Lynne Smith — VP, Communications

Lynne has deep experience with lead generation, direct sales, and account management across technology, telecom, and automotive markets. Her innate knack for understanding team dynamics and relationships consistently ensures we’re always doing the right thing for our team members and customers.

Originally growing up in New York, Lynne quickly developed a love for sweet tea and ‘real’ BBQ after moving to Atlanta.  She also has a knack for learning dance steps after only seeing them one time (not that the rest of us are jealous or anything).

Hannah specializes in Inbound Strategy projects at 1406. She keeps our team and timelines on track, manages HubSpot tasks, client correspondence, and all the important in-betweens!

When not on a video conference or updating tasks in Basecamp, you can find Hannah baking, pretending she is better at playing bass than she actually is, and forcing her husband to try healthy recipes (typically in vain).

Sarah enjoys triathlon and yoga in her spare time, has a habit of adopting the most adorable puppies you’ve ever seen, and has never been cast on The Amazing Race due to her navigational skills.
