Summary
I've helped a lot of companies throughout my career ... big to small, tech to traditional. A few examples: While in the Mobile and Handheld Products Group at Intel, I created a "Go Mobile" program that was eventually branded Centrino and widely credited internally as "... saving Intel," as well as "... second only in importance to Pentium," per Andy Grove. I helped two friends become millionaires by showing them how to rapidly grow their tiny yet surprisingly high-margin housewares rental business within the corporate housing space; I showed IBM how to make $8 Billion over ten years via a tip-of-the-spear strategic software product and services plan; I put a stop to a small non-profit insurance company's atrocious churn rate by diving deep into their data and determining that they had a major disconnect between their marketing efforts, product, and brand, then showed them how to correct it. These amongst many other usually more bread-and-butter projects. Today, I focus on the nexus of marketing and technology due to the enormous growth opportunities afforded by both viral and leveraged digital marketing efforts, from automated reseller programs to leveraged "Intel Inside" type campaigns to inherently built-in viral social media efforts. So, if you're a business, marketing or IT leader looking to grow your topline and lower your customer acquisition costs with highly creative strategic and technical ideas -- plus stellar marketing campaign execution and/or marketing tech development and implementation -- send me a note here. I'd love to chat with you.
