Brenda is a country bumpkin who somehow secured a partner facing role at a large Midwest company. She thinks she's hot shit because she commutes to downtown Minneapolis every day for work, but her heart (and townhouse) will always be in Coon Rapids. She has a thick Minnesotan accent, she's a little too trashy for her own good, and she's completely oblivious to it all.
If you try to do business with a Brenda, she will never be able to wrap her head around your ideas or think outside the box. She's uncomfortable with confrontation but wants to move up from middle management. She likes to attend marketing conferences each month. You can count on her making safe, cautious, and predictable business decisions. She is famous for trash-talking on conference calls because she doesn't actually know how to tell if she's on mute.
In the summer, Brenda likes to go pontoon boating with her friends. After a day in the sun throwing back cool ones, you can find her baring midriff at the local VFW. In the winter, she enjoys helping herself to company's club level Wild season tickets, where she can drink to excess, be loud, and tell strangers about her recent divorce.

Boss: This is an incredible idea, Zach. When are you pitching it?
Zach: I already did. My point of contact is being a total Brenda. We spent the first 30 minutes trying to explain Snapchat stories and didn't get through the rest of the presentation.
