What should my title be?
I'm being promoted to director level, but the problem is, I can't think of a good way to name the title. I'm overseeing marketing, product development, and international sales.
So far I can only think of Director of Marketing & Products since intl. sales can be wrapped under marketing.
What is your suggestion?

i thought you were switching jobs? You have more job shit than anyone I know. I just go to work, make donuts and come home. 
Don't get too wrapped up in titles..... I am the controller of where I work, but I almost always just say Accounting....It just sounds petty trying to push a big title onto people.... to each their own.
I know people at banks are like "I am the VP of XXXXX".... ya, 85% of the bank is a
ing VP.... whoooot.... you beat out the other 15%.

When my boss made me pick a title after several years of having guru listed next to my name, I told him owner would be nice but the price was too high. Now I am the VP of Techno Doohickies and Thingamajigs. He forced the VP title on me so I added the rest.
