It's hard to write an overview when you've had the wide range of experiences that I have had. My background is pretty much as diverse as it comes, and I bring a unique perspective drawing on many experiences from the smallest of startups to Fortune 500 companies. The ability to cross-fertilize, taking a proven idea or concept from one field to apply it to another, or to synthesize by blending them, is a major advantage.At 7DS, I help institutional clients in real estate and related industries develop and implement corporate strategy. The "and implement" part is important, since the greatest strategy in the world isn't worth the paper it's written on unless it can be executed upon. To do so, I draw on my background in marketing, product development, technology, finance, law, sales, social media, events and even online gaming to deliver results. As a small startup, we can't afford not to deliver results, and so we do, day in and day out.I am best at shaking things up -- I believe the term of art is "change agent" -- and starting new strategic initiatives whether as small as a new corporate website or as large as major changes in business models. I understand the entrepreneur, having been one for years, and I understand the corporate executive, um, having been that too for years. I understand both the possibilities and the limits of new techniques, whether social media, online communities, technology products, or business models.And I delight in breaking down complex problems into bite-sized fundamental issues that a company can tackle one at a time, until the grand strategy is achieved.Specialties: Strategy: Corporate strategy formation and execution.
