Value Creation Communications

Created 11 years ago in Sales & Marketing / Growth Strategy

A startup veteran who supports companies wanting to grow and reach the state where liquidity occurs. This starts with telling the story the right way, having it clearly communicated to the right audiences, the right way.

Why I know startups? The first job I had was a startup professional sports team. I was 14. The second position I took was to create an information service to support, stimulate and develop youth hockey for the Philadelphia Flyers when I was 16. Now 38 years later that organization which I led from 1978-88 still operates 25 programs created that have helped insure the growth of hockey and ongoing fan support for the Flyers. Along the way my team and I have helped grow many companies and support their investors to achieve liquidity.

We do this through a carefully crafted blend of influencer relations, public appearances and market insight. Our breakthrough work includes founding the Nokia Social Media Program, initiating Influencer Relations for AOL, AT&T, GrandCentral (now Google Voice), GIPS (now part of Google), SightSpeed (now part of Logitech), StubHub (now part of eBay) and many more.
