MY WORK

"Never tell me the odds!"

I consider myself a bit of a rebel, a bit of a creative. I am a strategic, innovative, and forward-thinking executive with a stellar history of strong leadership that drives operations forward while building corporate bottom lines. I am a leader with skills in advancing the development, design, launch and management of margin-enhancing, multimillion-dollar digital products, platforms, and services.

Global, Senior Vice President

I led a top-performing, global, 120-member team for the digital lab arm of an operator of global shopping-center portfolios. I managed a $22M budget that covered engineering, design, operations, and project management. Together we developed a number of strategic initiatives, including Searchable Mall, indoor positioning, unified platforms and new customer experiences on mobile and web.

Chief Operations Officer, Co-Founder

I drove revenue growth from $0 to $14M between two verticals while also securing $12M in private equity financing for a major B2B media company focused on the healthcare and science sectors. Led product development, management, and new product launches while managing the design, strategy and execution for product marketing across six (6) separate lines of business.  

Chief Operations Officer

I was responsible for development and execution of product and business initiatives for a startup company that solves global issues through technology, material science, and manufacturing.  I consulted with various high profile clients to assess needs and oversaw all stages of product design, development, and production to perfectly match those needs. Clients included Apple, Google, Anheuser-Busch, Levis, Gap, Nike, and more.

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and never strayed far from my California roots. I grew up in Los Altos, attended Chico State (and eventually pursued post-grad work at Stanford and UCLA), and returned to the Bay Area to start my career. I always knew I would start my own business. In fact, the writing was on the wall when I got called into the principal’s office in fourth grade for renting my comic books to my classmates. A few years later, I made a name for myself by running one of the largest firework operations in Los Altos.  

Ultimately technology called to me. There were two defining moments that shaped my future career in tech. The first was getting an Apple IIe computer.  As a kid growing up in Silicon Valley, this computer put me on the cusp of what was happening. Oddly enough, Steve Jobs’ house was part of my paper route. His family didn't tip very well. The second major happening was the commercialization of the Internet. This lead me to start developing marketing and technology solutions for a consulting company I started called Panic Publishing. In the early days of the Internet I had a number of high profile customers, including Netscape, Yahoo!, 3M, Bay Networks, SGI, and more.
