Chief Marketing Officer
East View Companies
(Information Services industry)
January 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)
Lead marketing and sales for both East View Information Services and East View Cartographic. These companies are pretty amazing. Two different business models; about 10% common customer segments; two different selling and marketing approaches. The position of heading marketing and sales gives me tremendous variety at the same time that I seek to find leverage between the two businesses. What I like best is how the timing of this opportunity in my career draws upon my business and human passions and experience. I left Thomson to find something more aligned to what I wanted to develop and experience and I found it in spades. We are organically growing at a very healthy clip despite the market doldrums. Basically this is right on a number of levels. Way to go Kent and Dima!

Individual and Small Business Coaching. I really enjoy assisting small businesses increase their strategic bandwidth. This means that I provide my time and passion-inspired engagement towards helping a small business owner and team, who are steeped in day-to-day operations, find and commit to strategic initiatives that will help grow their business. I even do some of the work as numerous testimonials will attest. I am a consulting strategist that actually likes taking on some accountabilities and seeing things through.
