Sheila Eckhardt

Sr. Account Manager

“As a small company, we all wear many hats. This gives each of us insight and experience in all aspects of the job, from start to finish.”

With extensive experience as a health care and life insurance benefits specialist, Sheila knows what it takes to drive action during enrollment time. She has developed employee-centric materials for leading organizations across many industries, including several Fortune 500 companies.

Every workplace has its own uniqueness and Sheila excels at crafting communication strategies that work for a variety of demographics. It’s her specialty to customize benefit documents to suit specific employees (better than the foreign jargon-filled originals!). Known for her meticulous work ethic and no-frills approach, she has helped Spitfire build long-term partnerships with clients who trust her to get the job done. When your team needs complex communication support, Sheila can help.

Karen Scattergood

Communications Strategist

“What truly makes me proud is knowing that our work directly impacts people’s lives… it’s incredibly rewarding.”

Karen is at the forefront of many key growth initiatives that have transformed Spitfire into a market leader and continue to do so today. In addition to working with some of our most high-profile clients, she has helped launch several award-winning internal communications campaigns that have raised the bar for employee engagement.

By focusing on the moments that matter most to employees, Karen empowers our clients with the required knowledge and confidence to make meaningful changes within their organization. As a team leader, she works closely with our Account Managers to ensure we stay ahead of our clients’ needs. Karen also speaks frequently at national workplace communication conferences and panels and helps Spitfire remain an industry leader.

Jessica Palazzo

President & Founder

“I am incredibly fortunate to have this team. They inspire me, make me better, and make Spitfire a very special firm to work for and with.”

Spitfire’s trademark flame was ignited by Jessica in 2008, and she continues to fuel the company’s growth today. An expert in strategic communications, employee benefits, and employer positioning, she has led new initiatives and spearheaded best practice standards for well-known small and mid-sized businesses, Fortune 500 companies, and non-profit organizations.

Jessica understands how important it is to set high quality standards and go the extra mile when building long-term relationships with clients. With the assistance of an expert team, she strives to eliminate the communication gap between dedicated employees and amazing companies. Every year, Jessica finds new ways to expand the business, create partnerships, and offer industry-specific tools and services that set Spitfire apart in the market.

Kim Conforti

Sr. Account Manager

“I love bringing a client’s vision into reality and helping them creatively put their own spin on things.”

Kim brings a unique perspective on employee benefits and how to promote them effectively, having worked both as an insurance broker and a benefits communicator. Change communications, such as benefits onboarding after mergers, plan administration and renewals, and health care reform initiatives are just a few of her areas of expertise.

Kim’s ability to translate complex benefits terminology into simple language has assisted many clients in increasing employee participation in their benefits programs. As a health and wellness advocate, she is passionate about planning action-driven communications promoting employee well-being – an area many companies request Spitfire’s help in. Taking a holistic approach to employees’ needs is a top priority for Kim.

Richelle Waron

Sr. Account Manager

“Everyone brings something different to the table. I enjoy the dynamic nature of my role and collaborating with a diverse team and clients.”

Richelle’s experience in broadcasting and advertising has influenced her ability to design informative employee benefits and total rewards communications that go far beyond the basics. She’ll help you figure out what your core message truly is, what options you have to get the impact you want, and when to take action.

Besides the satisfaction of her clients, Richelle strives to ensure the satisfaction of employees as well. With a keen eye for the numbers, she excels at identifying what’s working and what isn’t, and she’s always researching the latest communication trends to help companies attract (and retain) top talent. Richelle will find a clever way to engage your employees with interesting and informative content at the right time.

Lori Barger

Sr. Account Manager

“My clients are my number one priority and building relationships through honesty, credibility, and trust is the cherry on top.”

Lori is always ahead of the curve when it comes to internal communications, and she knows how to ask the right questions to produce the best results. With her big picture approach to benefits communication, she has helped her clients streamline materials, increase employee engagement, and elevate workplace morale.

Lori’s enthusiasm for creating lasting relationships with her clients stems from her experience in both project management and customer service. In terms of thinking through a strategy, avoiding roadblocks, and getting things done, she is one of the best, and her creative problem-solving skills have earned her clients’ nationally recognized awards. When it’s time to promote a new benefit, or communicate a major change, Lori is the person to call.

Gonmit Sehmbi

Account Manager

“Engagement starts with small, everyday interactions, not just with new initiatives or major changes.”

Having worked in both in-house and agency settings, Gonmit specializes in building employer brands through influential communications that drive action, advance best practices, and stay relevant as the organization evolves.

Gonmit’s first step towards client satisfaction is to understand what “success” means to each client. Aside from making their total rewards and benefits programs stand out, she strives to strengthen their connections with their most important audiences. She also contributes to Spitfire’s internal marketing initiatives with the same enthusiasm. Gonmit is the person you can depend on if you need help delivering your message, getting the response you desire, or even just figuring out where to begin.

“When creative vision and technical expertise align, the result is something truly extraordinary – there’s nothing more rewarding than surpassing expectations and what was thought to be possible.”

While Diana is heavily involved in client projects, she still finds time to build and coordinate Spitfire’s business resiliency and IT efforts as well as strengthen security standards and reporting.

Sr. Graphic Designer

“I have always been creative, and I also love solving puzzles. At its core, graphic design is about problem solving.”

Jocelyn specializes in creative development for print and digital. Her creative approach allows her to find a balance between artistically pleasing designs, the latest industry trends, and pre-press requirements that result in an impactful, high-quality design. She wants her clients’ deliverables to stand out and make a lasting first impression.

Jocelyn excels at transforming out-of-the-box ideas into innovative solutions to reimagine employee communications, elevate employer brand awareness, and enhance companies’ identities. Along with managing our highly personalized materials, she’s the lead designer behind our custom rewards statements. In Spitfire’s fast-paced environment, Jocelyn’s calm under pressure makes her a pro at managing multiple design projects – and our clients love her ability to make the message memorable.

Laura Dechaine

Sr. Graphic Designer

“Each design project has unique criteria… but there is always more than one good solution for the challenge.”

Creating meaningful connections between employers and employees is what Laura specializes in, including brand identity programs, print collateral, digital design, and environmental graphics. Using clean, sophisticated visuals, she engages and catches employee attention across a variety of industries.

Known for her skillful blend of visual arts and technical skills, Laura is a true artist by nature. Her passion for being a part of all stages of the creative process – from brainstorming to conceptualizing to production – has led her to design some of Spitfire’s most successful employee messaging initiatives. Our clients love Laura’s “let’s make it happen” attitude, which ensures all their needs are met both in terms of design and cost.
