Quintanilla

Elizabeth is a former overworked IBMer who started in 2009 an entrepreneurial plus advocacy journey.   She is not just your average Austin girl and the founder of EQ Consultants Group, LLC.  Also, a self-described Private Investigator focused on determining why customers don't buy products or services or finds waste through inefficient operations. She focuses on product management: the art of identifying urgent problems a market is willing to pay to solve, define the right requirements, and develop roadmaps to best solve these problems.  Her other interests vary to include business, technology, food, Austin, and things 2.0.

Elizabeth Quintanilla is also a former rocket scientist from Jet Propulsion Laboratory where she visited Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn from her cubicle. On her many adventures, one brought her back to Austin where she finished a full time MBA from University of Texas at Austin while working at IBM. Little known fact: Two of Elizabeth's favorite classes in the MBA program were cost-based accounting and entrepreneurial finance!

She became the local Meetup Organizer for the Drupal Community. Lastly, she's actively volunteers as a Social Media Ambassador for the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (GAHCC), planning committee member of Product Camp and Product Potluck, and attends a variety of other Austin business and tech events.

Additionally, her company is a City of Austin certified woman minority owned business. Currently, she independently consults on a variety of topics, which include social media, product management, product marketing, as well as project management.
