When I graduated from college, I worked for a Fortune 500 company as an engineer. A very helpful career counselor asked what I see myself doing in 10 years. I told him that I would like to work in marketing for a technology company, preferably in a start-up or new product environment. He said, “You know, start ups don’t pay very well, sometimes they go out of business and not pay at all.” Well…For over 20 years, I’ve successfully followed my passion of marketing innovative technology products/services, working from start-ups to new product divisions of Fortune 1000 companies. There’s nothing more satisfying than launching products/services that benefit customers, grow revenue for the company and increase enterprise value for investors. As the head of marketing, I thrive on developing market strategies and orchestrating the marketing programs that deliver results and meet ROI objectives.
