Description
I am a 20+ year business and technology professional, in addition to over five years running IT departments. I specialize in content, community, social networking and ecommerce. I have experience building websites and online services from inception, and taking existing websites and online services to the next level. I also have an extensive track record of launching successful new online initiatives, content and programming, beginning with America Online in the 1990s. I want to find a company with a great culture, in which I can grow and learn, that allows me to help and nurture employees, not solely the 'bottom line'. I would like to find a place that accepts me for who I am, and is more interested in my results than whether or not I fit some specific mold.
