"I believe you have to be part of the conversation, or you're not saying anything." -Ryan Thompson, - L.A. Times....... I make companies better. Let me help you bring innovative digital thinking to drive world class, industry leading communications and results. I am passionate about generating ideas that use both individual and team powered strategies to achieve profitable solutions. I am very much a strategist & solutions focused individual (people, process, profit). I believe in hard work, teamwork, creativity, efficiency & above all, excellence. I started my career working in the world's largest asset management company, Deutsche Bank. This set the bar very high in terms of expectations & confidence early in my career. Since that time, I've created or co-created 3 start-ups and ran social communication activities for a Fortune 100. I continue to push innovative business solutions in B2B & B2C environments. Hard Skills & Talents: I love working with people, period. So while I have unique knowledge of the web & business processes. I'm a "people person" at heart that loves interacting with external clients, leaders, and am infinitely interested in culture & creative pursuits. I have lived/worked professionally in Chicago, Buenos Aires, New York City, and now Southeast Wisconsin. Culturally, I have an insider's perspective into business culture like Latin America and Europe, having studied and/or worked overseas in places like London, Argentina, etc. for nearly 4 years of my career and have been working with local, national & global brands ever since. Carpe diem & be the change. "A good hockey player plays where the puck is... ...A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be." -Wayne Gretzky
