SUMMARY
Core Competency: An eclectic background, which has the common theme of always championing the voice of
the customer. I thrive on defining true customer needs and successfully translating them into empowering customer
experiences that ultimately turn into specific measurement outcomes for all parties involved.

First career: As an executive in high tech marketing, which spanned all facets of marketing for companies such as
Dell, IBM, Ogilvy and Mather, and many a Start-Up.

understanding, coaching skills, and high tech knowledge to create customer experience and communication

optimum results.

Personal Profile: I apply gut-fueled intuition, hard-nosed pragmatism, business acumen, and educational intellect
to any problem needing attention.
