I enjoy solving complex problems with simple solutions, and enabling complex solutions to be simple, for the customer. I bring a solid sales background, diverse product/service experience and enthusiasm for new market development to all of my projects. I am looking for an opportunity to join a company looking for growth in adjacent markets, development of complementary products or solutions and increased revenue from existing customers and markets.

One of the things I am most passionate about is cooking. Having grown up in a retail cookware store and been around some amazing amateur chefs, cooking has become the thing that relaxes me, grounds me and allows me to be creative and serve others, at the same time.
One of the most recent problems that I've had to solve was how to pull together internal and external communications for 600 volunteer participants in a disaster simulation and exercise. StrongAngel III (www.strongangel3.net) was a disaster simulation and response demonstration that brought private industry, NGO's and all levels of government to San Diego, CA for five days of training, demonstrations and social networking. On the second day, I was volunteered to be the Public Information Officer (part of the ICS Command Staff in an emergency response) and proceeded to recruit (hijack?) a communications staff, set the operational mission and lead communications "sorties" in the San Diego community.
Entrepreneurial, supported and focused. My passions lead me to build, and the best way to do that is on a firm foundation with an established plan of action. I enjoy the freedom to be creative within an established vision or mission.
One of my most recent challenges was arriving at AudienceCentral without a defined product, warm generation or sales infrastructure. Over the past three years, I was able to establish all three while ramping up sales over three fold.
The "aha" moment. When a potential customer or partner comes to the moment of understanding how the product or service that I represent will help them meet their goals faster, cheaper and/or easier.
Hard working, loyal and generous, are words that others have used to describe me. Visit http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=899512 for additional quotes and references.
Be selective about what "additional" hats you wear. In a startup environment, it can be very easy to be hijacked to additional projects that are outside of your responsibilities. Even these well-intentioned, important and possibly urgent projects can ultimately distract from your objective.
