as Managing Director at PowerfulCMS
Australia
I help small business owners grow their business online. Our services differ from others in that we provide the strategy, implementation and accountability behind what we sell, that it produces measurable and tangible revenue, irrespective of if the market is in a boom, recession or depression.
I have a lot of credentials – MBA, Google AdWords certified professional, Microsoft certified engineer (MCSE), Novell certified engineer (CNE) and partially certified as an Oracle DBA OCP (OCP). None of these come close to my real world experience as a business owner, organically growing my business and businesses of my clients. I cherish my experiences in online sales, marketing at some of the places I worked -- Dell Computers and Microsoft Corporation.
