Never say no to adventure...I've had incredible opportunities to build and lead sales, business development, and marketing teams, from 5-100+, across very different industries and cultures in Television, Fintech/Start-Up, and large Financial Institutions, growing revenue 9-digits.Along the way, I've made great friendships and collaborated with amazing people who:Grew DIRECTV for Business from $200M to $450M in 2 years, and delivered both the vision and roadmap to chart the course to $1B, which was achieved within 5 years.Built the Cardlytics performance marketing network, from $0 to $150M, integrating with the digital properties of 500+ Financial Institutions, anchored by the largest retail banks in the United States and the UK, from an idea the in the Founder's kitchen to an IPO.At American Express, challenged the status quo to leverage core risk-focused machine-learning capabilities and $1T in spend data to build Amex Advance, an external digital advertising platform and co-modeling environment that delivered increased ROI's to our largest strategic partners.Currently, our team leads some of the largest and most complex Consumer marketing programs at Amex, delivering 1B+ digital communications, and over $1B in value across non-fiat points and cash back currencies, to US Card Members as we accelerate our best-in-class, subscription-based, premium membership model.I love finding new intersections of people, data, and technology to create value and more efficiently connect buyers and sellers.(The "Pale Blue Dot" background photo...that is all of us from the perspective of Voyager 1, at the time 3.7B miles away...Carl Sagan commented: "To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another...")
