Bringing great New Media products to life is more than a mission for me; it’s what I love to do. Recently, I have had the privilege of working with some fantastic clients on some really exciting products in the performance search and new media landscape.
In early 2005, I was the was the founding principal of Visionary View Media, a New Media Product Consulting Group with a vast client list. From the keyboard to the camera, content is king. Capitalizing on my in person customer relationship skills and B2B technical product experience made for the right mix of .com successes. I am proud to say I have had involvement in over 50 new media client ventures including, VZ Navigator.com, Networks in Motion.com, Amber Neben.com, Sourcelink’s Lowridershades.com, Careerbuilder.com, Certiport.com and the development and launch of Local.com-recognized as the Fastest Growing Internet Site by ComScore.
New Media is my passion, developing lasting and meaningful products is my foundation. My philosophy remains the same, great products have a purpose, meaning, and the right communication vehicle. Prior to .com life, I gained a full understanding of “how the Internet works from the central office to the wall jack” working on advanced telecommunications products with AT&T, Sonicwall, Netopia, and Cisco Systems. Involvement from direct end user relationships to product certification status, gave me the ability to value user experience and its place on the product chain. During this era, I assisted in the product roadmap direct marketing, and often acted as the evangelist for such products as DSL, High speed data, dedicated networks, NOC functionality, end to end router implementations, early stage VOIP, and VPN. Developing and managing teams with national responsibilities was common to all functions.
Even earlier in my career I was fortunate enough to work within the retail industry where I developed my in person sales and relationship skills. Working at that level with one on one customer interaction made me realize the importance of what a product means to an individual. Being part of management at such banner organizations as Four Wheel Parts, Transamerican Auto, Macy’s, Nine West, Bullocks, The Broadway, and Brown Group Retail taught me the skill set needed to manage P&L’s upward of $5M and thousands of team and customer relationships. Being part of the development and management of great products is something I am proud of.
I have been fortunate enough to be recognized by AT&T and Macy’s with Outstanding Merit Awards. My media credentials include Tech TV, Adtech, and the MAGIC Market Place event. I am a proud member of fantastic organizations such as The Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) and The Project Management Institute (PMI).
My experience, hands on knowledge, and interaction skills make me confident I can add value within your organization just as I have done for so many prior groups. Let’s talk today and I’ll show you how.
