Founder
Jul 2012 — Present
Having grown a $40 million new business from scratch for Apple, built new distribution channels for NEC and Medtronic, and spent six years in the startup trenches, I\'ve developed a breadth of strategy development skills that takes decades to learn. I\'m turning that knowledge into a stand-alone firm helping clients grow their businesses faster than they can do on their own.Recent projects in the following areas have involved market analysis, idea generation, early-stage business development strategy, partner strategy, proof-of-concept plans, and funding strategy- Web-based real estate valuation services- Athletic apparel- GPS-based local consumer information services- Fall prevention exercise programs for 65+ senior citizens- Primary health care quality information for consumers- Customer communications management- HPC simulation of cell systems biologyMy startup interests are currently in the area of very early-stage formation and bootstrapping, efforts that seek to create transformative change across one or more industries, and facilitating private/public collaboration through grant funding, technology licensing, and making available technology and business platforms to enable the emergence of new marketplace ecosystems that attract the creative resources of independent developers and entrepreneurs.Specialties: Leadership of global cross-functional teamsSoftware product managementCreation of ad-hoc game & app development teamsBusiness strategy developmentProduct evangelismMarketing strategy & program developmentConsumer retail channel sales & marketingMarketing metrics & ROI analysisPublic relationsSales team training & motivationPhase I & II SBIR grant writing
