Summary
VISIONARY BUSINESS-BUILDER ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I am a licensed attorney whose strong credentials (emphasis in technology law) are reinforced by a proven history of propelling businesses from startup to worldwide, multimedia empires with top-selling products and operations spanning the globe. After my initial success leading the startup, growth, and profitable sale of two high-tech companies, I’ve spent the past 13 years as the founder and CEO of SalsaCrazy, Inc. and DanceCrazy, Inc. I grew these enterprises from basement startups to become multimillion-dollar companies that revolutionized the industry through a genre-defining, online subscription-based business model. Today, these businesses house top-selling educational, entertainment, and exercise/fitness brands, with sales and operations in 30+ countries. TURNING IDEAS INTO REALITY ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ A constant throughout my career has been the ability to take an idea from concept through successful execution. My research-based eCommerce, product, marketing, and growth strategies have led to international expansion and captured #1 market share within highly competitive industries. I am a respected deal-maker of partnerships, M&A ventures, and licensing/distribution agreements. PASSIONATE ENTREPRENEUR ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Over the course of building profitable companies, I’ve never lost sight of the importance of giving back and helping others. All of my companies are committed to giving to charitable causes, and I believe people are the backbone of a thriving organization. I modeled my work ethic after my father, who came to the U.S. with limited means and worked relentlessly to become a legendary attorney.
