Know yourself and what you want. Pay your dues to get there. – Robin Roberts
Tori Harper-Mercado is the Business Development Manager for Weddle Brothers Construction Companies, where she excels in her role as a relationship builder, networker and mentor. Prior to her pivot into construction, she devoted 4 years of her professional career in IT consulting, specializing in data analytics and AI best practices, which is also how she first got connected to Women & Hi Tech.
She holds a degree from the Kelley School of Business at IU Indianapolis and a sales certification from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Tori's diverse background includes experience in civil engineering, sports and entertainment and technology consulting sectors, where she has held various marketing and sales positions. In her spare time, she looks for new ways to develop her professional skills such as taking leadership training courses, attending local conferences, and working to become a master in her field of expertise.
Tori participates and involves herself in areas where she feels she can give back to her community such as coaching and mentoring athletes of her high school track and field team and being an active volunteer and committee member in various organizations.
Outside of work, she is a mom to two-under-two, a wife, and a new experience fanatic that thrives off of fun adventures, connectivity, and the love of animals (especially dogs).
