I am an experienced general manager who loves running complex technology businesses. I have served in CEO and COO roles, and I have a particularly strong interest in operational leadership in growing companies. I like putting together all of the puzzle pieces: going global, scalable processes & systems, and mechanisms for linking day-to-day activities with financial performance. And in spite of a few battle scars, I continue to believe that workplaces can be fun and that most people thrive on working together to create something larger than themselves.
As an electrical engineer by training, I understand and have a genuine interest in technology. Most of my experience has been with companies that design behind-the-scenes software and hardware used in the television, film, and digital media industries. Video technology, including contemporary file-based workflow, is therefore a particular area of expertise. Since I can also speak the business language of media executives, I’m able to help bridge the gap between media technology and business – an ever-widening gulf in this rapidly evolving digital media age!
I am presently working as a free agent, providing consulting services on both general business matters and media-specific issues. But I miss being part of a long-term team, so during 2010 I hope to join a growing business in a leadership capacity.
