Steve Youngblood’s Summary

I have created new products, managed existing products, created new companies (for myself and for other employers), launched and managed a European operation, sold large software/services bundles to the largest companies in the world, and hired and fired and invested my own time and money to achieve all of these things. My professional goal is to turn investments in technology (whatever that may be) into gold.

I'm a builder. I build teams, markets and products. I have many friends in Europe and can bring an American company and it's products there quickly and with success. I can also analyze markets and respond with products and plans quickly.

I self funded my university degree at the University of Florida giving me a feeling of ownership and pure "on my own" responsibility
