About Sara Spivey
Chief Marketing Officer - Convio

A published author, with dreams of living in Italy when she retires, Sara Spivey serves as the Chief Marketing Officer for Convio. With 25 (±) years of marketing experience Sara knows that listening to the market and what makes clients and buyers happy is the key to success. As a professional marketer, she enjoys developing programs that reveal something to people that they hadn’t really thought about doing, or only dreamed of doing, and then provide them software and services to do it. She believes humor and intellect are important in being successful and with two soon to be teenage daughters, she’s going to need both just to stay ahead.

What is the most rewarding thing about working in public/social service?
For me and everyone at Convio it’s the ability to see day in and day out the impact nonprofits are having in their communities and on the world.
What is one thing you want to tell the Austin community about your organization?
People at Convio are passionate about working with nonprofits and within their community and take pride in the fact that our technology helps power nonprofits to reach more people and raise more funds for their cause.
What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
The television show Glee and People Magazine, which I only pick up at airports when traveling.
How long have you lived in Austin? What brought you here?
I’ve been in Austin for 3 years and moved here for the opportunity at Convio.
