I’m a business development and strategic partnership executive in domestic and global media and communications for corporate clients, associations, and advocacy groups. Clients get an experienced leader to target new market opportunities and develop and execute digital, broadcast and print strategies to drive revenue. I bring expertise in new platforms and technology, international investment, travel & tourism, and advocacy advertising. My long-term client relationships are built on respect, truth and trust. A customer might tell you what they want. It’s my job to listen, then determine and deliver on what they need.Every company I’ve been a part of gets first-class sales leadership, a powerful new pipeline, and the presentation and negotiation skills to close deals that beat projections. I was the top seller for the Wall Street Journal for six years, growing revenue from $3M to $20M when we launched WSJ.com and OpinionJournal.com. I created the first sponsorship for the debut of Opinionournal.com. I led ad sales as the Associate Publisher of The Weekly Standard and TWS.com during the brand’s six strongest years. Recently, I served as a business development for advertising and public affairs executive for Gunster Strategies Worldwide in D.C., working with clients in financial institutions, foreign governments, as well as the energy and utility sectors. My substantial international experience includes a leadership role with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for eight years, creating new streams of revenue from a network of over thirty foreign countries in print and television.
