I use advanced search techniques to gather and distill information from thousands of sources to get clients quickly up to speed.

February 2007 — Present (1 year 9 months)
I use an ever-evolving mix of Internet search techniques -- some well known, others in beta, plus some of my own 'special sauce' -- to provide the partner/director recruiting team with a steady flow of qualified, high-level, passive candidates.

April 1997 — May 2008 (11 years 2 months)
I use advanced Internet techniques to mine and monitor the changing digital landscape -- Google, blogs, social networks, RSS feeds, nested Boolean search strings, as well as various proprietary databases -- to give clients an edge when pursuing new markets, execs and opportunities.

My search for the new, the interesting, and the intellectually provocative takes me beyond the computer monitor, and on frequent trips to nearby museums and universities. The topic could be archeology, robotic surgery, or the history of Godzilla -- doesn't matter -- as long as the speaker is expert, and the presentation lively.
