Education

I am a 1979 cum laude graduate of Boston College with a BA (equivalent of a European drs.) in Education and Communications. Boston College is a top-ranked Jesuit university located in Massachusetts.

In 1980-84, I completed additional post-graduate business studies at Northeastern University in Boston,. Massachusetts and The University of Colorado in Boulder.

I was an adjunct professor of marketing at Florida Atlantic University from 1984-89.

Skills

In my 22-year career, my work has been characterized by two key words – “innovative solutions.” Solutions to problems that businesses or professions may not yet even know exist.

The definition of stakeholders throughout the EU is unlike anything known in the US. Without this mutual understanding, all firms have a difficult time.

§ Coaching/Counseling human development
As an author and coach on three continents, I work with management teams and individuals to bring people and companies back into their personal power. Businesses are people and helping them bring the best to every situation is my focus.

§ Builder of innovative and international business units and businesses
As an entrepreneur I have started and built businesses in professional services, financial services, entertainment, e-commerce, and consulting arenas focusing on innovation while working in difficult markets and conditions.

§ Marketing and sales executive
In professional and financial services, I work with companies facing unprecedented marketing and positioning challenges for services and, in some cases, their survival. Developing and implementing strategies to attack markets differently and become customer-focused is a key part of these efforts.

§ E-Commerce pioneer
I have been involved in the Internet since 1990. I have seen the businesses come and go and know that the Internet now must focus on building business models that work in B2B and B2C environments and generate revenue to support themselves and their stakeholders.

§ Service/CRM
I can assist in the entire chain from production through to the end user with a special focus on the needs of the customer/end-user and bringing the organization more in line with their needs.
