About Erik de Coster
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT, PROJECT MANAGEMENT, PRODUCT MANAGEMENT, DATA SECURITY I\'m the perfect mix of creativity, business savvy and big ideas. As a startup executive, I\'ve had the opportunity to wear lots of different hats to create solutions for our customers, growing the revenue and implement programs. In the process, I\'ve learned a lot about the rocket ride of startup culture, and the need to be fluid and adaptable in approaching my work. Here are the highlights: TECHNICAL PRODUCTION + ARCHITECTURE I’m an early adopter and often self-taught with all kinds of technology, software, design and coding. Often, I’m working on problems + challenges for which there is no prescribed solution. So I have to invent one. DIGITAL MARKETING + CREATIVEIt’s not just the technology, it’s the outcome. Whether it’s promoting bands and other music luminaries, designing web sites or protecting copyrights of artists so that they can build an audience for their brand, and get exposure to millions of fans that they otherwise would not. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENTIdentifying potential new business opportunities + monetizing them are a hallmark of everything I’ve done in my career. Whether it’s restoring rental properties to increase cash flow, or designing managed print solutions for potential customers, I understand how to create ROI forecasts and develop solutions that ensure customer success. PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION + MANAGEMENT As the #1 employee in startup IQ Logic, I helped design the roadmap for finding customers, proposing solutions, and then implementing them to manifest the ROI we forecast. ENTREPRENEURIAL, STARTUP MINDSETI’m entrepreneurial at heart,+ comfortable in the startup environment where situations can often be ambiguous, and solutions depend on your agile thinking. That also means a willingness to wear many hats, and play in all the spaces I’m needed, no matter what my job title is.I welcome your connection!
