Senior Technology Executive and Advisor
Vancouver, Canada Area
I am a senior resource that brings together the technology and business worlds. I have a range of experience from small software companies and Internet startups to large worldwide software and internet companies. I have a reputation for going after the tough tasks, the hard goals, and accomplishing what the business needs to thrive.
I can act as an operational manager focusing on supporting the business with real-time strategies or as a product and technical visionary determining the path for the business to pursue. I can work at the technical, product or business level interchangeably keeping a constant conduit open between these equally important aspects of the company.
I accept clients world-wide.
