Director at Boomerang Systems UAE, LLC
Greater New York City Area
At Boomerang Systems, a U.S.-based manufacturer of automated parking and self-storage systems, I direct all marketing and business development activities for the company. Our products help real estate developers, car dealers, municipalities save money by using their real estate more effectively to meet their parking and self-storage needs.
While at Exodus Capital Advisors (http://www.exoduscap.com) I advised business owners of companies up to $250MM looking to maximize the cash flow and exit value of their company by discovering latent opportunities for revenue growth and cost reduction.
At Administaff (http://www.administaff.com) I sold a suite of HR-related business services (payroll, benefits, recruiting, training, etc...) to companies of 6 - 1,000 employees. I qualified for Chairman's Club exceeding my quota by over two and a half times.
I have built two companies which provided me with rich experience in all facets of business. The first was footwear company, N.E.O.S Performance Overshoes, (http://www.overshoe.com) which I sold for a profit after 5 years, and the second, KYS, a web-based training company for retailers to better educate their sales staff about the products they sold. These two start-ups gave me extensive hands on experience with overseas product development, manufacturing, importing, web application development, finance, sales and marketing.
I am the recipient of numerous business awards including the SBA Young Entrepreneur of the Year and Gold Medal Winer for Consumer Product Design in the Business Week IDEA Design Awards. I have raised $3.5M in angel and venture capital investments through private placements.
Business management including sales & marketing, networking, off-shore manufacturing, web strategy, application development, and human resources, .

Boomerang Systems is a U.S. manufacturer of automated parking and self-storage systems. Our parking systems use half the space of a ramp garage to fit the same number of cars. They can be configured to fit from 6 to 600+ cars upto 7 levels high, located below or above ground, and covered in any facade.
It is essentially a huge "vendng machine" for cars . . . as any car can be retrieved at the push of a button without moving any of the other cars. In 3-minutes or less, your car is delivered safe and secure as you left it. This makes our parking systems ideal for multi-family condos, car dealerships, office buildings, public garages, hotels, hospitals, universities, and anywhere else land is scarce and valuable.
