Skills
What I've done

Prior to @RCRDCLUB, I was co-founder, CEO and architect of @Echospin, a technology company whose pioneering solutions enabled rights holders to sell and promote digital, physical and mobile goods directly to fans across the globe. Acquired in 2010, Echospin's partners included all four major labels, Disney and Live Nation, among many others.

My extensive experience also includes serving as Managing Partner for Digital Strategy Partners, a media technology firm with clients including Yahoo!, Citigroup, The NY Times and Viacom. Prior to founding DSP, I was VP, Digital for MTV Networks, where I was responsible for leading the digital media strategy of the MTVN online properties, including more than 60 brands and affiliates around the world.

I began my career in 1995 at the dawn of the Internet Age as Senior Technologist at IDT. After helping IDT grow to millions of customers and IPO, I went on to ICES, the first global B2B eCommerce platform, where I served as Director, R&D.
