About

I am a hands-on executive with years of experience in technology management, sales/BD, marketing and strategy. I am experienced in the networking, security, Internet, online advertising and mobile verticals - in both B2B and B2C aspects. My career spans small and large companies. I was a key contributor to startups, generating significant revenue growth and developing healthy, scalable systems. More recently, I managed business units in larger organizations - managing teams, reducing risk and increasing profitability . I have a strong international background. I am fluent in English, French & Spanish, and worked in Paris and New York for 7 years. I have sold products and services in virtually every country in the world, directly and through channels. To me, *execution* is the most important factor on the road to success. As John Lennon sang - "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans". So - whether on my own, or managing a team; in sales or in product development - I get things done.
