I have been a founder and developer of internet services and software ventures in global markets for fifteen years…dreaming, conceiving, founding, building, growing, expanding, valuing, selling, and enjoying the challenges of start-up companies.
I respect, deeply, the founding entrepreneurs and teams who choose this work, and it is my passion to share my experience to help them succeed.”
