We want to make digital securities and new investment solutions work for everybody!With Swarm, I've been working to build infrastructure to lower barriers and increase access to investment opportunities as well as to broaden the sphere of financial inclusion and real-world asset ownership using blockchain technology. This includes deciphering a complex, emerging market landscape and envisioning, defining, and prioritizing which solutions to construct and address from a product perspective. Additionally, doing business development to find the right initial partners, integrations and collaborative experiments has been an integral part of the process and an important focus area.

During this run, I was lucky enough to lead a mature, nimble and wildly talented digital creative concept, design, technical solutions, production and operations team with a flair for both the usefully fancy, the blissfully simple, and a healthy smattering of data rich insights along with a deep commitment to inspired customer service. This bold contingent excelled through full service delivery of both scale and custom rich advertising experiences across a dizzying spectrum of distribution paths. Even beyond that, the group maintained healthy, thriving relationships across the landscape of advertisers, agencies, sales, AM, product development, and publisher operations and was held in extremely high regard as it delightfully managed to support sales and produce creative experiences for over $300m of revenue for the company.Key Accomplishments include: *Brought design, build, launch, and support of custom rich media in house saving $2m annually.*Increased the engagement of services 25% through creative advisory, workshops, and innovation forums.*Using a constellation of business data and customer feedback, restructured large-scale Creative Services business by aligning teams into pods of key skill sets to deeply understand customer needs and partner on solutions.*Stood up a research team & program focused on deriving actual insight from the millions of little experiments we were running every day (ads) and building intelligence from otherwise wasted data.

In this fine era, I led a group focused on delivering rich creative experiences to advertising customers in both custom and scale arenas and oversaw a major technical and business migration. I aimed to drive clarity and efficiency while deepening sales relationships and expanding service through 4 functional areas: Digital Production Management, Campaign Deployment Operations, Tech Services, & Ops Integrity.I also was privileged to sit on a few working groups. The IAB Display Ad Guidelines, for which I was Co-Chair, the IAB Digital Ad Ops Certification Test build group, and the IAB HTML5 Standards working group. I received the IAB Service Award in 2015 for these efforts.Key Accomplishments include:*Spearheaded major migrations of creative solutions platforms, representing over $100m in revenue, with near 0 customer disruption.*Enhanced production and customer support, fostering 30% growth, by aligning rich media solutions, tech services, and production efforts. Reduced TTR by 20% and increased customer satisfaction by 30%.*Led commercialization efforts for creative SaaS platform and the unique challenge of engaging, onboarding, and supporting enterprise customers. Established resources to guide customers through all phases for over 150 global customers.*Built experimentation, rapid prototyping, and data supported, quick-feedback framework to help drive the "natural selection" of various features, products, and formats.*Created custom content, dynamic solutions by synthesizing existing product, data, and audience components into repeatable experiences to premium advertising partners.

This was a good time. I got to build a team where there was none. Then I got to serve as its leader for creative production, operations and customer service inside the rapid growth Pictela group post AOL acquisition amongst many fine people. We grew from $3m to $45m in revenue in 2 years.
