Stan Faryna’s Summary

You can learn more about me by reading my blog: http://stanfaryna.wordpress.com

____________
EXPERIENCE
____________

1. Leader and Manager

I inspire, mentor and compel teams and individuals to give me their best in a positive, sustainable and increasingly performant manner. I have led software development teams, interactive design teams, web development teams, and minority political groups to unexpected accomplishments and successes.

2. Corporate Bolverk

As a creative problem solver and student of educational psychology, I make it happen or I quickly get the right people to make it happen. I have been brought in as a consultant who directly solves common change, management and IT issues. Typically, I bring my own operational team to support my work in this regard.

3. Visionary and Creative Director

I envision exciting opportunities and practical next steps. I can clearly articulate and communicate innovating next steps, relevant technology solutions and descriptions, and "brand moves" down to the nuts and bolts that will hold it together and make it pay off. I have exercised the creative process as an artist, art director, copywriter, document specialist, furniture designer, software interface designer and writer.

4. Online Expert

Regarding interactive advertising and marketing, online strategies, web-based technologies and websites, I have been producing results, value and ROI since 1996. I have learned much from the winners who took it all as well as the losers who lacked luck, courage and/or imagination.

I am also actively involved in a non-profit Eastern European think tank on interactive advertising which I founded at my own expense.

____________
GOALS
____________

Make big, compelling ideas and vision happen at the local, national or international level.

• Director of Research

  New Coalition for Economic and Social Change

  (Non-Profit; 1-10 employees; Think Tanks industry)

  May 1995 — May 1997 (2 years 1 month)

  Directed publications and research for this important minority action think tank. The New Coalition for Economic and Social Change supported my efforts to gather bold and forceful thoughts represented in Black and Right (Praeger, 1996). It was a great pleasure for me to work with Lee Walker.
  
  New Oxford Review said this about Black and Right:
  
  "The essays in Black and Right contain a power and depth which, frankly, are sometimes missing in the writings of white conservatives....Brimming with uncommon common sense, piercing insight, and hard-won experience, Black and Right is a testament, a testimony, and a road map."
