About me
Intro
15+ years of experience in marketing roles in tech or tech-adjacent companies. I've worked with over 20 different tech companies across various industries and geographies. I'm comfortable both being the first marketing hire and leading multi-disciplinary marketing teams; both devising the marketing strategy and "getting my hands dirty" and implementing said strategy. I have worked with hundreds of millions in revenue companies and I have worked with pre revenue companies.

Online Course, Understanding Modern Marketing Madness
2013 - 2013
1 year
This class is for anyone interested in modern marketing techniques. Since moving to New York in 2008 I’ve held Creative Director titles at Anomaly, Saatchi and Chief Creative Innovation Officer at JWT New York. I recently won a Gold Lion for Mobile at Cannes. I’ve taught advertising courses at Miami Ad School and Watford College in the UK, and also established Dare School - a creative trainee program for the agency. You’ll leave this class with an understanding of how to create a lot of buzz and engagement with $0. I’ll guide you through a hands-on project of doing just that. You’ll be tasked with answering a client’s creative brief: come up with a marketing idea to make ping pong the coolest sport in the world. Use any modern tactic - video, technology, social media, PR, mobile etc. - to bring your idea to life. Think about what Nike+ did for runners - that’s what we’ll figure out how to do... for table tennis.

Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on “validated learning,” rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counter-intuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute.
