Kirk Sanders’s Experience

• CxO

  Get10

  (Consumer Services industry)

  October 2008 — Present (1 year 2 months)

  Get10 changes the way you SHOP and SAVE with your favorite brands and retailers. No more running from store to store to get the individual discounts, savings and special deals. No more bulky wallets from all the loyalty cards and programs. And STOP the overwhelming correspondence from each program. Now it's ONE CARD recognized by mulitple merchants that provide instant recognition and reward (savings) everytime you SHOP with them.

• PAST: C-level roles

  Multiple businesses varying from startup to turnaround

  (Management Consulting industry)

  January 1987 — December 2008 (22 years )

  I have raised nearly $9M in working capital for a few successful (and failed) startups and emerging companies that I get directly involved in as a C-level Executive knowing I have authority and accountability over the use of such proceeds and business development. I do not raise capital for other people's projects. My broad experience has included the entertainment, e-commerce/Internet, financial services, IT storage devices, sports, waste and recycling, mortgage and real estate industries. I have consulted businesses in the automotive aftermarket, medical device, loyalty-reward program, and not-for-profit sectors. I offer a well-rounded, entrepreneurial and broad business experience. An entreperneur, visionary, business synthesist and go-to-market strategist for traditional and Internet businesses. Very involved with SEM/SEO, social media and online marketing techniques and strategies.
