      I became an advisor to ChaseFuture on sales, marketing, and operations in February 2013. In February 2015, I became Interim COO, made an angel investment, and joined the Board of Directors. ChaseFuture has already shown a tremendous ability to engage prospective customers with great content, get earned media, and turn prospective customers into very satisfied clients with a best-in-industry standard. My priorities are to keep the quality and satisfaction high while scaling up, metrics and data, communications, and getting smart collaborative investors for our Series A round.

      We're hiring bilingual programmers, marketers, and operations staff -- if you know someone with a lot of drive who wants to make an impact on such an important market, definitely refer them to me.

A variety of challenging assignments, high-prestige stuff, working with division chiefs and CEO's of fast growth companies across the United States, Europe, and Asia.

My favorite part of this was that I worked with lots of smart people of high integrity -- I enjoyed generating results and having a great camaraderie. Ceased taking clients at end of February 2015 after taking long-term contracts that tie me up for the all of 2015.
