Our Team

From the moment Yassmeen stepped into a Decker program, she knew she had embarked upon a “life-changing” organization. A people-person at her core, she loves that Decker cares so much about both its clients and staff.

Yassmeen graduated from UC Davis with a double major in psychology and communication, and she’s passionate about how the two are related.

A Fresno native, Yassmeen is proud to now call the Bay Area her home. Her favorite things include laughing, doing yoga and exploring all the cultures, sights and restaurants San Francisco has to offer.

Chloe is a Maryland native (east coast beast coast!) who now resides in Chicago (midwest is best!) and is excited to join the Decker team. Chloe has over 5 years of experience in sales and communication, and has always been passionate about effective communication, not just in the workforce, but in life! She believes that strong communication, coupled with empathy and active listening skills, is what brings us together and creates positive change. 

Chloe also has a BFA in Acting, and is an award winning actor, comedian, writer, and producer. In her spare time she is screaming at sports television (Black and Yellow baby!), playing flag football, talking about astrology or her cat.

During nearly three decades of public speaking, technical sales, and business ownership, Jon grew an obsession for solving an epic problem: meaningless meetings. This led him to Decker. 

Jon is thrilled to join Decker’s team, sharing his passion for mentoring in business, especially in the area of effective communication. He loves watching people discovering the best parts of themselves, then finding a way to share their truth clearly and powerfully.  

Jon lives in Los Angeles. When he’s not working, he spends most of his time with one of his three adult children – surfing, working on music, or reading in one of too many coffee shops in his hometown. Jon holds a degree in music from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

Decker at its core is ‘people helping people.’ From clients to employees, there is a culture here that illuminates positivity and warmness which makes everything here that much more fun.

I have been in different fields of sales for over 6 years and genuinely enjoy making connections with others while watching their progress and victories.

As a wine enthusiast, and my alma mater being in the heart of wine country, I am currently enrolled at Sonoma State University again to obtain my Wine Business Management degree for fun. Football season and Christmas is where my heart resides year-round and love to travel, cook and attend music festivals and concerts.

Gene loves helping people become better communicators and is consistently amazed by the power and effectiveness of video feedback. Gene, based in New York City, came to Decker with an extensive background in journalism, including more than two decades in television news in a wide range of production and newsgathering roles. In addition to his work with clients around the world, he works internally to bring new team members up to speed on content delivery and coaching. He is married and a father of two adult children, both of whom have been through Decker’s Communicate to Influence program.

Suzie brings her background in the theatre to her role as Program Leader. Since joining Decker in 2021, she has worked with clients in the U.S. and internationally, including Apple, AT&T, Bristol Myers Squibb, Cox, Fidelity, Google, Hilton, JPMorgan Chase, Pfizer, Schwab, State Farm, Sysco & Workday.

Before Decker, Suzie spent her career communicating the value of the arts to corporate, civic, and government stakeholders through fundraising, talent recruitment, and education initiatives.

Suzie was born in the U.S. but grew up in London, earning a BA in drama, and training as a professional actor before moving back to the U.S. to raise her family. She holds an MA in Liberal Arts and resides in Los Angeles.

When not exploring new cities to satisfy her wanderlust, she can be found in a museum, the theater, or a yoga class.

As a Senior Program Leader for Decker, Linda’s enthusiasm for her clients is infectious. She is honored to foster program participants’ growth as leaders and communicators as they learn and apply the Decker Method.

Prior to joining Decker, Linda held leadership positions in industries ranging from not-for-profit to venture capital. Outside her life at Decker, Linda is the Communication Coach-in-Residence at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and teaches entrepreneurial communication to Stanford undergraduates. Additionally, she developed the curriculum for, and taught, Stanford’s first class on presentation design and delivery skills.

Linda has an MBA from the University of Connecticut, an MAT from Fuller Theological Seminary, and a BS in Accounting from Fairfield University. And as if that wasn’t enough, she spent two years studying at the Academy of Art University. She considers herself over-educated, over-caffeinated, and at times, over-stressed.

In her free time, she enjoys hiking, cycling, and reading. She lives in the SF Bay Area with her daughter.

Erin knew that she wanted to be a part of the Decker Team immediately after reading the core values. It was exactly what she had been looking for—a company that cares about people.

Erin graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in Film Studies. As a lover of storytelling, she had always wanted to be part of an organization that used the power of storytelling to inspire people to create a positive impact and transformative change in others.

Outside of work, Erin is a huge book nerd who loves to read. As a native of western New York, Erin is a huge Buffalo Bills fan. When she’s not watching the Bills, she spends her weekends in New York City writing, rock climbing, seeing movies or spending time with family and friends.

Ariel lives in Orange County with her husband and 3 young kids which means most days, work is her meditation. With a background in marketing and a proven track record in small business operations, she brings a strategic mindset to her role. Processes are her love language.  When she’s not working, Ariel finds joy in supporting the health and well-being of mothers through building relationships and advocating for mothers in the workplace.

A true visionary, Bert launched Decker Communications in 1979 to transform people’s lives – and that mission remains the same today.

Early on in his “career,” he remembers being videotaped prior to his junior high book reports. In hindsight, he can certainly see the value of it, but the jury is still out on whether or not he’ll subject his own three boys to do the same.
