Redmond, Washington, Us

I managed Microsoft's alliance priorities (including business, legal and technical) for a set of key global ISVs who MSFT partnered with to help them transform their business to the cloud on Azure. I worked with senior ISV executives to help them refactor their business to the reality of cloud economics including the difficult but necessary changes in culture, product and GTM.

Redmond, Washington, Us

Was responsible for establishing and then executing on Microsoft's priorities with a small set of very large and iconic competitive companies. I worked in a business development organization with a mandate to balance the entire breadth of priorities across the company related to our largest and most competitive partners. I led deal teams in protracted negotiations which required complex and many times newly invented frameworks.

Founder and CEO of Photoloom which developed and distributed IoT solutions that solved the problem of accessing, sharing and enjoying in their business or home the high volume of digital photos and videos which are constantly being collected. Photoloom products were the first wireless, large format, digital picture frames for the home or business which could be framed and hung light artwork but had touch sensitive screens and embeded control systems allowing for intuitive and quick access to their pictures and videos.

Founder and CEO. Bidpath created the first bridge between the thousand year old traditional auction business and, in the day, the exploding promise of market access offered by the internet. We created and deployed "in the field" IT infrastructure combined with auction engine middleware and an online distribution marketplaces to the highly fragmented traditional auction and asset recovery market. The company was funded from several institutional rounds by firms including a Drapper Fisher Jurvetson affiliate and Venture Strategy Partners. Bidpath created ground breaking solutions to some very hairy customer problems which spanned hardware, software, distribution and newly created internet juggernauts like Amazon, eBay and various B2B portals. The company was sold in 2001. Today this technology is now widely being used in the auction and asset disposition business.
