Summary
I am a marketing and technology executive with a unique blend of market savvy, technical depth, strategic thinking, and hands on execution. My areas of interest are broad: I have defined and launched a wide variety of consumer online services (Search, Travel, Personalization), enterprise solutions (SaaS Analytics, Data Warehousing, OLAP, Email, Tools), and networking products (DNS/DHCP, WAN Acceleration). Having worked at both large and small companies, company size is not as important to me as the people, the culture, and the opportunity to have an impact. KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS * Developed and executed go-to-market plan for SaaS analytics startup Quantivo with short time frame and limited resources. Launched at Demo 08, scaled opportunity pipeline, and recruited customers, positioning company for successful funding. * Defined marketing and product strategy to position Nominum as the leader of networking naming and addressing solutions. Implemented programs instrumental to growing yearly revenue from under $5M to over $20M and reaching profitability. * Dramatically improved the relevance and usability of Netscape and CompuServe online search portals, maintaining $40M revenue during advertising downturn. * Launched a new division inside AOL to deliver on $200M deal with Travelocity. Surpassed key contract metrics which led to increased revenue. * Co-founded a software company – Neuron Data - and managed its engineering team as the company grew from zero to $15M in revenues. Neuron Data went public in March 2000 as Blaze Software (now part of Fair Isaac).
