I can help you with challenges you face with technology, marketing, manufacturing or financial aspects of your business (domestic and international). I can help with establishing and growing a start-up business as well as established businesses seeking assistance or growth strategies.
Although my background and career were in technology I have experience managing and counseling many types of business, including clothing, e-commerce, software, all kinds of hardware businesses, international business, offshore procurement, distribution businesses, medical devices, food distribution and marketing, consulting, contracting and coaching businesses.
Starting out in the research and development area, I successively moved through positions in engineering, marketing, general management and senior officer positions with Nortel Networks. I then founded a new venture-financed company in Silicon Valley and went on from there as a senior executive and CEO in several telecommunications enterprises Thus I have been through the "school of hard knocks" in starting a small business and am able to share my experiences, successes (and failures!) with you as you start on your new venture.
