I have gained many great insights, project management, design, and entrepreneurship experiences co-founding, leading, and working for innovative companies like\u00a0Signage Generators<\/a>,\u00a0SME.vc<\/a>,Drop.MX<\/a> and\u00a0Buildatron 3D Printers<\/a>. I have developed the product management skills that will be needed to excel with any growing startups. I am hard working; I am a problem solver; I enjoy meeting deadlines at all costs<\/p>\n

Signage Generators<\/a><\/h3>\n

As the COO, CTO, and Product Manager of Signage Generators Inc., I have lead the operations of the company, managed the product and team, and addressed many of the product design, innovation and commercialization challenges that any growing company will have to confront. For these reasons, Signage Generators has been critical to my development.<\/p>\n

Over the past two years at Signage Generators, I have honed my product development, management, and design expertise to build better digital signage networks. For example, I have worked hard on monetizing our digital signage networks, and as a result, Signage Generators has greatly improved its products for advertisers and has increased profitability.<\/p>\n

SME.vc<\/a> (SME.vc Prototype<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

I have also applied my skills to the product management and business development of SME.vc. As a result of my work at SME, the debt\/equity venture crowdfunding platform has moved from the pen and paper phase to a functioning prototype (SME.vc Prototype<\/a>). SME\u2019s offerings are industry-leading and allow investors and startups the ability to share in real-time key performance metrics, creating better communication and trust between the parties on the platform.<\/p>\n

As the Business Development Director, I lead, develop, and implement growth opportunities for SME\u2019s platform within the crowdfunding market. I am focused on managing aspects of SME\u2019s web platform development, communicating market opportunities, and marketing SME through speaking, media, content, and partnership opportunities. I have played an important role in SME\u2019s brand and product development. The skills I have gained at SME will be easily applied to the next company I join.<\/p>\n

DropMX<\/a><\/h3>\n

With the file sharing company DropMX, I took a much more active role in product management, design, offerings, functionality, and UI design. Our goal with DropMX was to provide users with the simplest way to send and access files on any device. With DropMX, a user can create an organized, password protected \u201cdrop\u201d to easily share document, photo, video, audio, and other files. We found that the clients of DropMX were extremely satisfied with the ease of use, stability, and quality of our file sharing service.<\/p>\n

With Drop.MX, we used the SCRUM project management method for development. We set a path with our product roadmap and met key product objectives on the map. As a result, our customers enjoyed our product, and our business was successful. Drop.mx provides another example of how I can combine my experience with compelling design, marketing, and product management to make a top-notch product that customers love.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

As you can see, I excel at product management and the creation of innovative and compelling products. I have a proven ability to develop and manage teams as demonstrated by my experience with Signage Generators, SME.vc, Drop.mx, and Buildatron. I am hands-on and I am a hard worker. I also have a focus that will enable results in the short-term and facilitate sustained long-term successes for any company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
