Profile: Tara Alemany

Tara R. Alemany is the owner and founder of Aleweb Social Marketing, a consulting company that helps creative types (authors, speakers, performers, musicians and entrepreneurs) build a comprehensive online platform. (In keeping with the times, her teen-aged daughter created the “Aleweb” name as a mash-up between their last name and “the web.”)

Tara brings more than 20 years of experience writing, training, and providing application support and business process analysis. All of these skills are used in helping her clients achieve their goals. She is frequently recognized for her speaking ability, knowledge and expertise, which she leverages to educate technophobes, trendsetters and a variety of age groups.

She has her own blog, “The Conversations Around Us,” but also guest blogs, writes for the Lead Change Group and SmartBrief, and has been reprinted in SOLD magazine. She has published an eBook (The Plan that Launched a Thousand Books, a DIY guide to marketing books online), co-authored The Character-Based Leader: Instigating a Leadership Revolution… One Person at a Time, and is working on her next book, The Best is Yet to Come.

Tara speaks frequently on social media and leadership topics, and has been a speaker or panelist at local events, as well as larger conferences, including the eMarketing Association’s “The Power of eMarketing” conference, and SMCampLI (a social media conference in Long Island).

In addition to providing consulting services, writing and speaking, Tara serves on the Board of Directors of a non-profit ministry, is Chaplain of her local Word Weavers chapter, and is also a martial artist, a short-term missionary, and a homeschooling Mom to 2 kids (one of each), ages 14 and 12.
