Call me to talk about

Marketing / Business Development

I dig into a company's culture and products, and develop marketing and business development strategies that fit naturally into the overall goals of the company. This requires a mix of creativity and analytics - only the best campaigns get attention, and you can only manage what you measure.

Pitch

I've helped hundreds of companies write better presentations, and help presenters deliver better pitches. The companies I coach typically win pitch competitions . . . not only because I coach a lot of companies, but because I take the time to help entrepreneurs write concise and memorable stories. Then, I arm the entrepreneur with tips & techniques that help them boost their confidence in front of intimidating audiences.

Entrepreneurship

Currently, I'm CEO & Co-Founder of Dissolve, a stock footage company dedicated to storytellers and designers. I previously co-founded iStockphoto, and was most recently the head of North American Operations for Fotolia.com. Sometimes, I'm Entrepreneur In Residence @ iNovia Capital, a venture fund focused on helping technology companies grow. I'm also an angel investor, technology community volunteer, university lecturer, and startup advisor.
