About Dean Waite

As an avid offshore fisherman and all-around interested boater, I have been lucky enough to be able to match my avocation with my vocation by publishing the leading BtoB trade journal, daily e-news and website in the recreational boating business. Despite recessionary times, my sales and sales management skills have seen our brand improve market share dramatically in the last ten years and we are, by far, the most respected news organization in our field.We have also collaborated with the International Boatbuilders' Exhibition and Conference (IBEX), the International Marina and Boatyard Conference (IMBC) the Marine Dealer Conference and Exhibition (MDCE) and the Marine Equipment Trade Show (METS) in Amsterdam.Earlier in my career, I served as the Eastern Divisional VP of Sales and Affiliate Relations for the Disney Channel, the Executive Director of the Cable Television Marketing Society and was VP of Cable Marketing on the launch team of The Weather Channel.Prior to that I served as VP and Publisher of daily newspapers in Florida and Southern California for the New York Times Regional Newspaper Group and Landmark Communications after graduating from the University of Florida Journalism School.
