Mary Ellen Slayter is founder, CEO and lead content strategist at Rep Cap, a content marketing agency that specializes in HR tech, insurance and financial services. That means she spends most of her days finding new ways to talk about the “future of work” while we’re all still actively creating it. She previously served as director of content development at SmartBrief and as a career advice columnist and editor at The Washington Post. She has a master’s in journalism from the University of Maryland and a B.S. in agronomy from Louisiana State University. She still can’t resist asking people about their first job at dinner parties.
