What I Bring To Your Table

I have been in the interactive new media space for over 17 years, starting out as an engineer and realized early on I was a much better marketer. I enjoyed the thrill of the close and the excitement associated with evangelizing interactive technology.

I started out first in telecommunications infrastructure with Reuters and Satellite Business Systems providing satellite systems to broadcast, MSO cable systems and financial institutions. Then I moved into communications test instrumentation with a start-up that was acquired by Tektronix. Thereafter I founded a communications consulting firm providing telecommunications and professional services to the financial services community servicing companies like JP Morgan, Citicorp and Solomon Brothers. Later on I moved into mobile and joined Phone.com (Openwave) as VP of sales and helped them position WAP client/server and unified messaging platforms into the wireless operator community. After that bubble I joined ORA Electronics a consumer electronics manufacturer as Global VP of Sales. After several years I was recruited by Liberty Media a multi-billion-dollar media conglomerate with interests in QVC, DirecTV, XM Radio, TruePosition and others to help out a failing subsidiary developing and implementing advanced mobile location products (LBS), for use in connection with social networks, mobile gaming companies, search companies, mobile advertisers and providers of music, comedy and entertainment content. In 24 months I turned the company with losses EBITDA positive with over $600M in deals.

With that great success behind my belt I decided to focus in on mobile media and marketing and joined Mobliss an interactive media entertainment and content aggregator focused on producing and distributing ad supported games, video, 3rd party content and interactive television as their Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development. After many successes with American Idol and Coca Cola I decided to start my own consulting practice leveraging my vast knowledge of and contacts within the interactive media space to focus on developing forward-looking strategies expanding clients’ product and service offerings in emerging areas such as interactive advertising and mobile marketing. Major clients included Cox Communications, Dish Network, iMedia International, Airbee and Pulse Entertainment. I then joined 1Rage Media a developer of interactive online and mobile entertainment based social media advertising platforms as their EVP and Chief Revenue Officer. The company’s technology empowered media companies and brands to create a new level of interactivity within the Web 2.0 and mobile experience and was later acquired.

A short time later a knock on the door came from Korn Ferry to join Mamma.com a really interesting French Canadian publicly-held provider of on-line search and advertising distributed to over 2700 sites providing advertiser solutions-pay per click/graphic and rich media ads and videos run-of-network and run-of-channel targeting in over 150 categories as their SVP of Sales. Mark Cuban was involved with the company and we were doing some very interesting and exciting things for a while. Later on I was recruited as EVP at Myxer an interactive media company providing ad supported online and mobile entertainment and content distribution of video, games, ringtones, music, pictures and graphics to mobile devices for enterprise and direct to consumers with over 21 million viewers.

My Style

In terms of style, I possess a no nonsense personality that is highly entrepreneurial and totally hands on.

* Industry Knowledge: I have demonstrated throughout my career an excellent understanding of the online and mobile eco system and space, and the requisite technical and business knowledge necessary to be successful. I am familiar with all relevant industry trends and players, and a strong understanding of the commercial dynamics of the business.

* Results Orientation: Achievement motivated, I want to win (the win itself is the reward). Focused persistently on outcomes – establish goals, monitor progress toward them and ultimately achieve them. I always feel a sense of urgency to reach goals.

* Business Judgment: An effective decision maker with the ability to address complex issues and solve problems in a timely, process oriented manner.

* Business Performance: Ability to translate business knowledge, experience and strategy into results through influencing, relationship building, process improvement and operational excellence.

* People Leadership: Ability to select, motivate, lead and develop talent. I have built high performing teams focused on achieving mutual goals, and I foster an environment of collaboration, teamwork, and trust.

* Open Communication: I promote open, honest, and timely communication and collaboration across all boundaries, I engage employees in dialogue and the work – this includes demonstrating managerial courage, candid discussions, not avoiding situations that create conflict.

I am now in the market for a new and exciting adventure where I can rap all my experiences up and take them to a new enterprise or start-up who needs some “been there done that” experience and expertise.

In this economy only two things matter to a company. Making money and saving money.
