I have been a very successful executive with experience in a wide range of industries and business models. From software (perpetual through SaaS licensing) to hardware (durable goods with large scale capital equipment) to services in numerous forms, I have been the executive in charge or on the board advising the CEO. I have worked as the product OEM or in the channel and have used direct sales distribution methods or channel based or inside sales or web-based, as appropriate for each opportunity. My companies have sold to small companies or large companies as well as local, state, or federal government entities and small professional firms. I have been on private company boards of directors as well as public company boards that either were or were not VC/PE backed and have served as Chairman several times. I have taken companies public on US financial markets and have been on the board to do so globally as well. I have operated in global environments since the early 1990's. I have a proven insight into developing and bringing to market products that people subsequently buy.
