Kari Sletten is the Head of Production at Iceberg Web Design, where she oversees new development projects and website support and maintenance. She brings over 20 years of experience in web development and technical strategy.
Since joining Iceberg in 2016, Kari has evolved from a website developer into a strategic leader who excels at translating customer needs into innovative technical solutions.
All joking aside, one of Kari’s greatest pleasures in life is cheering on her kids through life’s hurdles and home runs. There will be plenty of time for hobbies and sunny vacations in just a few short years after they’ve graduated.
Here she is on a quick trip to Arizona — proof that she does occasionally escape the bleacher circuit.
Kari has a background in Information Technology and Geographic Information Systems. She began her career in Isle of Wight, Virginia where she started working as the County’s GIS Technician and ended up running the Information Technology Department six years later. Her unique combination of database experience, network and software support, and map production translates remarkably well to the visual and technical aspects of website design.
After relocating back to Minnesota in 2009, she started a freelance website design business as a way to continue using her skills while raising her two small children. Kari’s freelance work gave her extensive experience with a wide range of content management systems and a solid coding foundation.
During her time at Iceberg, Kari’s role has evolved significantly from a part-time website developer to a vital role on Iceberg’s leadership team. As Head of Production, she manages a close knit team which includes two developers, one project manager, one customer service representative, and one content writer. While she still engages in development work when projects call for it, much of her time is now devoted to providing strategic direction for large, complex projects and collaborative problem-solving with her team.
Kari graduated from the University of Minnesota, Morris in 2001 and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology with a secondary concentration in Computer Science. She also holds a Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems from St. Cloud State University.
Kari stays connected to the website development industry by attending and speaking at conferences and events nationwide.
In her community, Kari serves on the board of the Andover High School Baseball Booster Club where she naturally lends her expertise to help with the website.
Kari lives near Anoka, Minnesota with her husband Jeff and their two high school-aged children. When she’s not working or cheering from the bleachers at football, baseball, and track events, she’s out on an adventure with her adorable mini goldendoodle Oakley.
