Tony Faustino’s Summary

I'm an Inbound Marketing Certified Professional and the author of Social Media ReInvention Blog. I possess a deep love and passion for social media, digital marketing, and corporate strategy.

In my business career, I have worn many hats as both a marketing and corporate strategist. Currently, I specialize in digital marketing and social media strategy in B2B applications to help MattsonJack promote its thought leadership in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. As a management consultant for Cap Gemini Ernst & Young (CGEY), I advised Fortune 500 pharmaceutical and managed care organizations in operational strategy. As a marketing strategist, I initiated and implemented numerous strategic alliances while serving as Director of Business Development in Customized Executive Education for a Top 15 U.S. News and World Report National University.

My formal education consists of an M.B.A. (Operations Strategy, Finance) and a B.A. (Biology) from Washington University in St. Louis.

In June 2009, I successfully completed HubSpot's Inbound Marketing University Coursework and Certification Exam to earn the certification of Inbound Marketing Certified Professional.

If you are on Twitter, I invite you to follow my observations on digital marketing, social media, corporate strategy, pharma & biotech (particularly M&A activity), and power & politics in organizations at:
