Guest: Marilyn Khadr, Founder, BB the Web, LLC

Marilyn is the founder and owner of BB The Web, a digital media company. Started in 2016, BB The Web is a full-stack web services company catering to businesses and organizations that strive to present an impactful and memorable online presence.

Marilyn began her professional journey as a computer science major at Indiana University. Her career took her to corporations in Baton Rouge, New York City, and Cincinnati, where she applied her programming and development talents to help Exxon, Prodigy, and Smith-Barney with data analysis and to stake a claim for their online presence at the dawn of the internet.

During the late 1990s, Marilyn paused her technology career to raise a family with her husband, Karim. She expanded and completed electronic media training before re-entering the digital design landscape, which led to her start-up. Marilyn leads the BB the Web team offering web and content development, paid ads, social media campaigns, digital analytics, and web maintenance.

The nickname, BB, came from her sister, who could not say “baby” when Marilyn was born. The nickname stuck and eventually evolved into Marilyn’s brand.
