Founder and CEOSLP Media Strategies provides outsourced business development services to companies looking to reach key decision makers with their products and services or assists companies looking to introduce new products into the media and adtech sectors.

Senior company executive team member and lead of BIA/Kelsey's four member business development team for six years, selling local market data, market research, local media forecasts, conferences, strategic consulting and analyst access to global media and Adtech firms via the firm’s Advisory Services division. The team cultivated an existing base of worldwide clients and pursued new customers, responsible for an annual sales goal of $2.5 million. Alongside our operations team, this group provided critical feedback to our corporate officers so that products and services could be developed to keep our customers ahead of the constant changes occurring in local media markets across the globe. During my tenure, I reinvented myself on several occasions in order to help the company achieve its goals. From my ad sales management background, I learned how to successfully sell an array of business valuation services to media, telecom, cable operators, senior debt providers and private equity firms. Later, I joined a new division of the company in marketing TV spectrum to companies interested in moving data via wireless. Then, upon BIA’s acquisition of the Kelsey Group, I hired and led the Advisory Services business development team in selling the firm’s data, forecasts, competitive intelligence, conferences, consulting and analyst access to an international customer base. I also helped the company develop new products and services to meet the growing needs of its customers, and was a key contributor on strategic consulting projects both domestically and internationally.
