This led to a first career developing complex software for General Motors and Ford in my native Michigan.But Mom was a hairdresser - so the way things look was also important, which probably explains my second career. In the early 90s, I became an ad agency creative and one of the first digital marketers, leading brands like P&G, Kraft, Ford, and Johnson & Johnson in their first steps onto the Internet. I've since launched products, crafted business strategies, advised the Fortune 500 on digital disruption, and created marketing campaigns for nearly 100 global brands. My work has been reviewed by some legendary CEOs. I've also worked with some of the world's best ad agencies, including DDB, Y&R, FCB, Possible, and MediaBrands.I've persuaded executive teams around the world to embrace everything from e-commerce to webcasting, AI, blockchain, and augmented reality. My team and I built one of the very first AI-powered websites in 1997 (yes, 27 years ago), and launched a successful predictive AI tool in 2014. π π¬ ππ¨π₯π₯ππ‘π§ π£π₯ππ’π₯ππ§π¬ is a logistics insights venture called Transparent Path.
