Summary
"Time and time again I’ve seen people with a background of broad-ranging employment and skills hired for a job where they don't necessarily tick the specialist criteria boxes, but become incredibly successful by offering a new level of understanding to the role." - Richard Branson Right now I'm very busy with a stealth project. Plus a client I needed to stand by who had all standard recipes fail, and needed something unique from the ground up. Between those things, I don't have a lot of time. I've presented strategy to executive teams and governments; set up intranets; led IT architecture teams; driven knowledge management initiatives; worked on marketing from branding to online advertising to e-infrastructure for retailers; published articles in venues like the Wall Street Journal as a noted industry analyst; been a consulting firm thought-leader and university instructor; advised and helped found start-ups; driven product development; and helped organizations change the way they think about and accomplish their missions. I can help a company use technology to make a human difference; help a consultant firm that wants to reach beyond the standard templates; or apply this range of skills and understanding to competitive intel and industry analysis. Skills include: Product definition, Product management, Product messaging, Strategy, Information technology, Growth hacking/ Online marketing, Journalism, PR, Competitive Intelligence/ OSINT, Knowledge management, Process improvement, Facilitation, Industry analyst (defense/aerospace), Teaching & training, Project management, Inter-departmental translation services :-)
