For the last 12 years, I’ve focused on online companies, providing technology and business leadership, managing resources and people, creating and executing corporate strategy, mentoring employees, shepherding deals, negotiating contracts and, oh yes, rolling up my sleeves and pulling cables, moving/building data centers, slinging/debugging code, engineering systems integration solutions, and good old fashioned problem solving.
