I am not just another suit. "Me thinks he doth protest too much?"—Shakespeare. Sometimes I play it straight, sometimes bent. I've held operational roles as a senior executive at organizations large and small. I've sailed a boat from Seattle to Nova Scotia via the Panama canal with my wife and 2 daughters. I went to Stanford. I don't own a TV. I've worked at IBM, JP Morgan, and Microsoft. My second daughter was born at home in our bed. The midwife was late. I've helped startups raise VC money, and then spend VC money. I've hired and fired people. I got laid off myself. I met my wife 25 years ago in Vienna. My first daughter is named Vienna. Thank god we didn't meet in Bucharest. I have been married for 22 years. I still love my wife like crazy. I composed and recorded a musical score for a full length feature film. I wrote and sold a 5,000 word article about the band Soundgarden back when Grunge was cool. My blog is called, "Stupid Things Guys Say." I started out as a pre-med bound for neurosurgery, but then hit organic chemistry. So I studied engineering instead. I've been a Chief marketing Officer and EVP and the Vice President Of Technology and Brand Globalization... I don't know what that means either. Today I help a variety of companies—big, small, not sure—get themselves onto enterprise-capable eCommerce systems. And then get the most value from those systems. This involves technology, design and strategy. It's fun and rewarding (in all senses) to be part of one of the biggest transformations to the economy since the Industrial Revolution. Before that, I helped non-profits figure out how to reach audiences beyond the 65-year old, well-educated, affluent woman who whips out her check book when an over the hill actress cries on TV asking for money. I also help leading social entrepreneurs harness the power of capitalism to change the world. I can help you achieve your goals too, whether bent or straight.
