Thomas Carrier's Summary
I have spent much of my 20-year business career researching, creating, and implementing market strategies for new products. While this has led me deep into technology for various technical products, my overall drive and passion is in discovering and marketing new product innovations that will lead to better ways for companies to accomplish business goals or will shift the direction of consumer demand.
For me, my favorite sport is "Startup Business" since there just isn't any game play more interesting or satisfying to call than the one that leads to a new product launch success.
To get to that product launch success(or many) though, it is all about the business community. Successful entrepreneurial hubs are not about any one entrepreneur's idea, but instead, they are about the collective entrepreneurial environments that are created through cooperative efforts between government, educational institutions, local corporations, small businesses, startups, and aspiring entrepreneurs. I am dedicated to finding and working with people who recognize this and with organizations which are serious about building these physical hubs for the benefit of today's entrepreneurs, investors, and local business communities as well as for those in generations to come.
