I've spent my career on the operating side of marketing, sales and business development. Since 2001 I've run Chief Internet Marketer, a digital marketing consultancy managing client accounts across industries. Along the way I've led programs for Fortune 500 companies, launched start-ups, and built businesses of my own in travel, golf and emerging tech.
