I am an Executive with experience in a wide variety of industries including travel and leisure, financial services, manufacturing, retail, mobile, and insurance. My expertise includes the full project lifecycle from sales through support and everything in between.

I am the co-founder and CEO of a new startup focused on advertising technology in the television space.

I previously ran the PayPal Media Network - the largest hyper-local mobile ad network. My role was a hybrid between product and operations with a good amount of Business Development thrown in.
