Jody Canavan Jody Canavan
Founder & President
Jody Canavan brings nearly 25 years of marketing and sales enablement experience to Launch International, which she founded in 1992. Jody is not only instrumental at crafting Launch International's solution offerings, but is an active member of our client services delivery team. Jody works closely with clients such as CA, IBM, EMC, and SunGard, as well as many other clients who benefit from her best-practices-based leadership to set strategies and build messaging that takes their companies to the next level.

Prior to founding Launch International, Jody held strategic domestic and international marketing positions for Decision Data (Philadelphia, PA), Memorex/Telex (Boston, MA, Tulsa, OK, and Neuchatel, Switzerland), and Raytheon Corporation (Boston, MA), serving both direct and indirect sales channels. Her "claim to fame" was bringing new products to market, and developing the tools and resources required by sales organizations to ramp revenues in the shortest possible timeframe. Some of the products under her management included storage, backup and recovery, and security and high availability solutions, which continue to be areas of specialty for Launch International today.

With proven experience in marketing and sales enablement, and an advocate for women in business, Jody is a featured speaker for academic, community, and corporate settings. Jody is also an active member or supporter of several area organizations dedicated to improving lives and community, including Bucks for Kids, Bucks County Women's Fund, the Heritage Conservancy for Land and Resource Preservation (where she serves on the marketing advisory board), and the Bucks County Historical Society. Jody holds a bachelor's degree from Hartwick College in NY.
