Our task was to integrate the recently acquired interclick sales team and audience targeting product portfolio into a joint offering with Yahoo!s sales teams, vast data and supply resources. Slade rocked it. I gave him marching orders to coordinate and consolidate a list of over thirty products across Yahoo! and build a political consensus on how best to go-to-market in a solution set. He interfaced with Senior Sales Exec's, Marketing Teams, Product Teams, Operations team and more. This included handling financial analysis, sales team organization and account assignment, product positioning and more within an organization of thousands of people. Slade's front line experience in Digital Media was an enormous asset and his ability to just get the job done was incredible. Slade shows enormous aptitude for handling complex situations far outside his comfort zone. Eager to get it done and always looking to learn, I would be happy to have him on my team again and so should you."
