Experience Summary | Contents |
Consistently increasing responsibility in a variety of management and staff positions including marketing, strategic planning, sales, product development, advertising and PR and systems design in the multimedia, electronics and broadcast industries.
Over a period of two years with LG Electronics (part of LG Group, a $64B Korea-based multi-national) I established a new vertical-market multimedia business for the U.S. consumer electronics subsidiary.
In over eight years with Sony I focused on introducing new technologies and growing new businesses in interactive technology and multimedia.
Significant responsibilities have included business management (including P&L responsibility); developing and managing industry partnerships; developing and implementing sales and marketing strategies; and communications, advertising and PR management.
I have extensive experience with multimedia, computers and computer-based
systems. I am interested in opportunities with both large firms as
well as smaller companies focused on growth. I am available immediately.
Relocation is possible.
