I work w Causemedia helping brands do good in the world, and w/ Matchfire Co to launch new products that harness the data generated by digital commerce.
With over 17 years of experience running high tech startups, I've built a career around identifying, championing, and executing new ideas.
I've gained broad experience in creating and launching new businesses, marketing campaigns, and products - including the ability to take existing products and chart new directions, or to start it all from scratch.
Matchfire has run over 900 campaigns and raised more than $100 million for charity by bringing brands, celebrities, and nonprofits together with digital media. We've won awards, too (Mashable 2011). So that's alright.
I've spoken on the topics of Startups, Fundraising, Cause Marketing, and Social Good in Social Media at SXSW, Blogworld, The Cause Marketing Forum, Ignite Shanghai, re:Think Hawaii, Gravity Summit, Web 2.0, NCVS, and other conferences.
