I get great satisfaction from working side by side with growth-minded owners and CEOs to build more value in their businesses and exit them if desired. I appreciate the deep relationships I build with my clients and the exceptional results we achieve together.
My background includes roles as owner, CEO, board member, and advisor, primarily in the technology and professional services sectors, including for profit, nonprofit, and social enterprises. I have worked with venture and private equity investors and sold several businesses.
- As COO at Network for Good, an online fundraising and donor management business, I guided the business to 40% annual recurring revenue growth after several years of flat or declining performance. During my tenure, our clients raised more than $250 million in donations each year, an increase of over 35% annually.
- As co-founder at Voxant, an online video news business, I raised several rounds of investment, built a syndication network of over 200 content partners and 35,000 affiliates, and generated over 80 million ad impressions per month before selling the company to Grab Media (now Blinkx).
- As a member of the management team, I built a business intelligence software company that was sold to Oracle Corporation; and a marketing automation company that was sold to Siebel Corporation.
Client engagements while at Newport include:
- Advisory Board member at a last mile delivery company fulfilling its sustainability mission by becoming increasingly tech enabled.
- Advisor and Interim CEO at a growing financial software company helping the owners optimize the business and prepare for exit.
- Advisor to the CEO of an enterprise SaaS company planning for dramatic growth via market diversification in advance of a sale.
