I hope that there are ways I can be helpful to you. What have I done in my 40+ years in business? Most of the last 20 years has been spent working at large media and information companies (Penton and Informa) running strategy, mergers acquisitions, startups and existing businesses, largely in the financial services, transportation and data areas. Our businesses were largely advertising and subscription supported and ranged from websites and print magazines, to events and large trade shows plus customized marketing and data products. I have also spent a good deal of time working with large public companies on their investor relations and communications programs. I love helping with sales force development. What have I done recently? For the last few years I have built a consulting business where I help media companies become more efficient and boost sales (mostly digital sales) and assist in examining potential acquisitions and divestitutes. I also advise and invest in start-ups including SquareStack, a digital dashboard for small business owners and The Glimpse Group which is an augmented/virtual reality company. What about non-profits? I have served on the boards of the American Red Cross in Greater New York (treasurer) and Gay Mens Health Crisis (treasurer) which is the oldest AIDS service organization in the U.S. I have also helped arts groups build development strategies.
