Flexible, Versatile & Creative – very focused and objective. Resourceful with the ability to blend easily in a multi-cultured atmosphere.

As a Business Developer & Marketing Director for more than 7 years at a local South Florida ISP - I had the opportunity to develop a number of e -solutions including the formation of Virtual Business Portals. Among many of the services provided, I lead a Team of experts that has successfully created, developed, and implemented many of the virtual systems that were successfully launched among a variety of clients in many different market segments.

By taking a natural and organic approach, business clientele base grew dramatically in less than a year for the organization. Most important is the fact that the majority of these clients remain engaged with the company as their main provider for e-solutions to this date.

Along the years, I developed business and e-marketing solutions for several hundred companies receiving recommendations from organizations like Microsoft and US Robotics. The actual work involved restructuring and redesigning of organization’s structures to efficiently and effectively implement online business and marketing solutions. Other collaborative online solutions included the optimization of conventional media, such as: newspapers, magazines, radio, and TV advertisements.

My involvement with many of these companies went well beyond just the creation, development and deployment of business & marketing campaigns. A major component of my activities included the easiness and flexibility to operate across departmental levels within organizations, which has contributed to successful outcomes, in a value-driven management approach.

My objectives are always to learn the values of each key-person, or "point of contact", that interacts, intersects, or is affected by the proposed project (s), and conceive solutions that create real value in alignment with corporate vision and cultural environment, which in return can create market advantage s and generate sustained value overtime to stakeholders and the organization.
