Who Am I?
The majority of my 20+ years in the online B2B space has been spent walking the line between business and technology. I’ve seen divestitures and mergers, new product/brand introductions, legacy product/brand sunsettings, and I’ve seen incredible analytics platforms that inform aggressive growth periods and necessary consolidations, all since 2001.
I’m just as comfortable talking to an executive business partner about the Software Development Life Cycle, as I am with talking to the technology team about complex business requirements, objectives, constraints, KPI’s, short-term timelines, long-term roadmaps, and let’s not forget the need for data and analytics.
What I enjoy doing.
I enjoy being part of a high-performing, data-centric culture that is predicated on openness, transparency, and continuous improvement. I thrive in long term partnerships with senior and executive leadership across the globe as we drive towards net-new insights and value-add. The academic side of me absolutely requires detailed documentation for replicability and extensibility. We mustn’t forget mentoring young people — and equally important, being mentored by our experienced leaders — as a critical step to keeping this good thing going.
My path, thus far.
My career is underscored by four separate $10B+ organizations, two multinational mergers, numerous divestitures, deep agency, contractual, as well as entrepreneurial and higher education experiences. At the foundation of it all are great, passionate people many of whom have become dear friends.
My academic preparation.
On that higher education point, I’ve experienced the full spectrum: Associate’s Degree, Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree, and a Doctoral Degree. I promised my wife I wouldn’t get any more degrees… she wasn’t amused when I joked about getting a J.D.

A Few Words From My Esteemed Colleagues
My TEDx Talk
About my experience from the 85th floor in NY’s World Trade Center on the morning of September 11th, 2001
I paused for a moment to look at myself in the mirror and take in the enormity of what had just happened. The white dust on my hands and face brought to mind those images I had of me at an old age. I thought to myself “this is your second chance”.
