Pursuing my passion for wine, travel and helping to establish and grow great companies, I’m focusing my energies on new startups in the business social media arena. I also continue to make venture investments.
Early in my career, I established several marketing groups at Microsoft. I then joined the senior management team of Virtual i-O, a venture-backed startup, as Vice President of Sales and Marketing. In 2003, I joined Rustic Canyon where I continue to serve as an Advisory Partner.
