Katie Harbath and Mindy Finn: Social Media Showdown
Meet Katie Harbath. Meet Mindy Finn.
Katie is an Associate Manager at Facebook and Mindy works for Twitter.
Two of social media’s leading ladies, Harbath and Finn have been proven industry experts for years. They’re also a couple of the nicest people you’ll meet in DC.
Before their work at Facebook and Twitter, Katie and Mindy worked together at the RNC. Afterwards, they went their separate ways, each to head up digital operations for top presidential contenders. Katie worked for Mayor Rudy Giuliani while Mindy headed to Team Romney. Years later, they’re still on different teams, but have enormous respect for each other.
With Facebook and Twitter at full-force this election cycle, we figured we’d reunite the two for a social media showdown.
