At Acquicent, we're building a marketplace for the issuance and trading of shares of the world's treasure assets.
Prior to Acquicent, I was VP Communications and Chief Evangelist of Verizon's digital unit. I joined Verizon following their $400M acquisition of EdgeCast Networks, a company I helped launch and establish as a leader in the web acceleration space. At EdgeCast, my responsibilities spanned the entire marketing and communications gamut (and more) from pre-launch/stealth mode through acquisition.
Previously, I've held founder and/or leadership roles in several other technology startups, helping grow them from idea stage to multi-million dollar revenue streams, and through three acquisitions. While I'm a generalist with solid technical chops, my greatest strengths are communications and branding.
I have also spent a substantial amount of time in and around government, ranging from staff member (Angus King) to fundraiser (served on Barack Obama's finance committee) to advisor (many).
I am also an occasional angel investor, with a current portfolio that includes about 10 companies.
