The acquisition by e-Rewards in 2009 helped segment and focus our business on various verticals. I took the opportunity to help launch the Media Team. My team focused on generating new revenue streams from Ad/ Media Agencies, Television Networks and Online Publishers. My channel has grew from zero in October 2010 to $5M in revenue in 2012.The new role meant learning more about the Ad Media space while building a client base once again via cold calling, attending industry conferences, client presentations and shadowing project delivery. Being the tenth employee at Research Now made me most comfortable working in a "start-up" environment. Today, Research Now has rebranded to Dynata after a merge with SSI.

The success of the company and maturation of the org chart in each local market allowed me to slow down the travel and focus on growing some of the largest key accounts for the company. I alone, managed a growing portfolio of around $6M while being centered in New York. Research Now was then bought by e-Rewards in 2009 taking us back to being a privately held company, now headquartered in Dallas, TX.

My business development lead to building a client base in the US for Research Now so I moved to New York to help launch and establish the US offices in San Francisco, New York and Chicago. This involved me wearing multiple hats; hiring new staff, finding office space, traveling around the US to various clients and conferences all while building new business and managing an existing portfolio of accounts. The need for operations in the local time zone lead to the acquisition of a Toronto based, North American competitor OpenVenue in 2007. I was tasked with helping the two sales teams work in unison post acquisition.

I joined Research Now as the tenth employee tasked with winning new accounts for the company through prospecting, qualifying leads, cold calling, attending conferences and presenting our services. The success of the fast growing team lead us to a successful IPO of Research Now on the London Stock Exchange AIM market in 2005.
