In March, 2012, I was asked by Kim Niemi to write a strategy document to enter and succeed in the health & fitness market (exercise, diet, plans, food, beverages, attire and equipment). The overall evaluation showed tremendous potential for NBCUniversal's property "The Biggest Loser" in this $6 billion category. I was then asked to prepare a specific plan to re-launch The Biggest Loser in January 2013, to support an all-new online health & wellness online subscription membership club -- www.biggestloser.com. This strategy was called "Challenge America" and became the theme for The Biggest Loser television show, and the manner by which we solicited and enrolled over 300,000 members in January 2013. I recruited a permanent General Manager, Project Manager and Marketing Manager post launch to oversee the all-new digital experience www.biggestloser.com and the online health and fitness subscription membership.

As CVP for Global Marketing, our team of 150 drove the Xbox and Windows Gaming business to its 1st profitable year ever. We increased game, console and Xbox Live subscription sales. We reduced Marketing Spend without losing effectiveness. We broke all records for creative campaigns with Halo 3 at Cannes. We pioneered new marketing approaches for 3rd party market share and profit with innovative programs for Grand Theft Auto 4, Rock Band, Guitar Hero 2/3, and Madden. We grew Xbox LIVE to 12 million members from 4 million in 2 years. We used changes in positioning, pricing, and packaging of our console and accessories to increase revenue and manage cost.But beyond the results, I am most proud of the innovations we developed around both the Science and Art of Marketing. In the Science of marketing we created an all-new customer segmentation, and a Brand Health Tracking Study. In the Art of Marketing, we created the "Strategy of 'And' -- keep Core customers and Broaden to Reach the Masses." Finally, we clarified the Xbox brand definition, and implemented story-telling for Games and Brands to emotionally connect with consumers.
