I am focused on business side of DZone. I’ve been on the team for two and a half years with the primary goal bringing in revenue from our sites so we can keep on growing the network. Rick, Matt, Mike, and the editors work hard every day to make sure the member experience continues to improve and I work hard to find ways of exposing our expert community to qualified vendors that are willing to pay. Everyone stays happy when the message fits the audience and the bills get paid so we can continue to march toward world domination.

The “Queen” title hearkens back to a nickname I acquired back when I was the Publisher of Java Pro Magazine, Shana Deane the Java Queen . I’ve spent over 12 years creating magazines, websites, and conferences for developers. Life is good at DZone. I am still outnumbered by men at work but it doesn’t bother me as long as they continue to start the day with, “good morning YM”

Cheers!

Shana
