I am a digital and mobile product and marketing executive who helps companies define and realize their mobile strategies across a broad set of services. I managed an early e-commerce team at MCI and launched a number of payment services including an industry first online billing solution. I joined Nextel to launch mobile data and then grew the mobile web as a service and as a marketing channel that supported mobile advertising, Sprint Nextel's sports and entertainment sponsorships and growth of our digital media business.  Most recently, I ran the mobile data business for NII (Nextel International) where we grew that business 30X in five years and launched 3G data services across four of our five Latin American markets. Throughout those experiences my teams and I developed mobile applications, implemented large platforms, negotiated nearly 100 media and technology partnerships, ran multiple integrated campaigns and worked across multiple industries. 

I have been fortunate to develop and market products and services throughout the Internet revolution, first on the web and more recently in mobile. Those of us who have traveled this road have often had to cut our own path and make our own rules. We have fallen down and have seen some opportunities eludes us. But, we have also had our successes and have learned along the way. I hope to share that acquired wisdom and expertise to help others realize opportunities in this evolving space.
