I am a technology marketing entrepreneur and writer, with a strong background in Internet technologies, product management and the web. I hold positions with a variety of venture development and Internet research companies.
- For Rednod, a startup accelerator, I work with technology ventures on industry research, product design, and marketing communications.
- For Bitcurrent, I am a principal analyst researching Internet technology.
- I am also a staff writer for technology blogs GigaOm and Earth2Tech.
- Finally, I plan content and speakers for a variety of industry events such as CMP's Interop.
Prior to Rednod, I was co-founder and SVP of Marketing for Coradiant. I continue to be closely involved with Coradiant's business strategy and product roadmap.
Coradiant was an early pioneer in User Performance Management, making transparent appliances for monitoring online experience and detecting web problems as they happen to actual users. At Coradiant, I managed product strategy, engineering, and marketing, and worked closely with field sales on enterprise accounts.
When Coradiant was initially formed as a managed service provider to run web applications, I raised the then-largest Series A in Canadian history. Coradiant grew from Networkshop, a company I founded with Eric Packman (a longtime friend and co-conspirator) in 1997. I've also worked for 3Com Corporation, Primary Access, and Eicon Technology.
I am the author of "Managing Bandwidth: Deploying QOS Across Enterprise Networks (Prentice Hall PTR, 1999)" and graduated from Dalhousie University with a B.Com (Honours) in Strategic Marketing.
