Having founded two companies, I have the real world experience and skill set of uncovering profitable market niches and strategically developing them with innovative products and services. My experience ranges from founding, growing and selling a computer hardware manufacturer, to creating a mobile application developers consortium. I enjoy working with entrepreneurs and business owners that are passionate about taking their business to the next level, but have not figured out the "formula" for doing so. In my computer hardware company, I personally built a domestic and international reseller network from the ground up which grew to over 3,000 high value customers. Customers ranged from the L.A. Police Department, Fresno Ambulance Dispatch, medical clinics and manufacturing companies to GTE. I also created the first top-tier mobile application developers consortium. This unique business model provided developers ongoing revenue after their content was eliminated by other channels. Working with small to midsize companies, I identify frequently overlooked opportunities. Next, I work with clients to implement strategies that exploit opportunities and "turbocharge" the achievement of business goals and increased profitability.Specialties: - Founded, directed and sold a successful computer hardware manufacturer- Proven niche marketing expertise and results.- Strategic rapport building: industry luminaries, key accounts- Building reseller channels from the ground up- Sales, includes closing complex/difficult accounts - Coaching resellers to close sales
