Ann Albergotti
Marketing Director, Owner at YK Marketing
Marketing Director
Ann is passionate about two things: Marketing and Advocating for SMBs. Coming from the supplier diversity world, Ann uses her expertise as a marketer and Entrepreneur, her connections, and what she knows SMBs must do to get contracting opportunities to help them grow. 

Throughout Ann’s career, she often worked closely with executives in large and small companies and has worked in the retail, banking, telecom, call center, test equipment and design, print manufacturing, software technologies, and nonprofit industries. 

No stranger to Entrepreneurialism, Ann has owned multiple companies throughout her life, most recently managing a marketing agency, YK Marketing, and co-owner of Notch UP in Denver, Colorado.  

Ann is often tapped for her creativity and resourcefulness in business because of her ability to see things from a fresh perspective.  A fan of change and innovation, Ann relies on data and analytics when making the tough decisions and isn’t afraid to pivot where necessary.

Ann is a graduate from Full Sail University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Internet Marketing. A single mother of three boys, Ann enjoys classic car shows, hiking, camping, movies, and rock and roll.

        Ann played an important role at the Mountain Plains Minority Supplier Development Council as MBE Services and Development Manager. Ann has been tireless in her effort to assist minority-owned small businesses obtain their nationally recognized Minority Business Entrepreneur (MBE) certification through the Council. She has also guided corporate supplier diversity professionals through her leadership on the Certification Committee and has been a key facilitator of corporate introductions through strategically planned MBE events. I enjoyed working with Ann and I know she will continue to bring innovation, professionalism, and leadership in all her future endeavors.
