fter selling Lowestfare.com to Priceline.com in July 2002 I joined GES Exposition Services as Vice President Exhibitor Sales to start-up two new departments, e-commerce and an outbound call center. In this role, I believe I bring the skills in business development/alliances, e-commerce, business start-ups, turnarounds, team building, CRM applications and technology utilization. GES is the largest exposition services contractor and operates some of the nation’s largest tradeshows such as Comdex and Consumer Electronic Show.

As a highly skilled corporate and business development executive, I have been the driving force and creator of numerous new business start-ups, new divisions of thriving businesses, and developer of new product and service offerings. Most recently in my role as Chief Product Officer I successfully designed, developed and launched Lowestfare.com, which became the 3rd largest travel space on the Internet – and directed the start-up of the Call Center and Product Development teams, which successfully designed and marketed upscale travel programs worldwide. While working for Carl Ichan (Lowestfare.com), I gained business and financial analytical skills beyond most executives in the industry. With my expertise in traditional and on-line business development strategies, I was able to grow this operation to $425 million.

With full P&L accountability through 25 direct reports, I managed a business of 1000+ personnel across multiple locations throughout the US. Most critical has been my success (at Lowestfare.com) in negotiating complex strategic alliances, developing on-line advertising initiatives and building working relationships through the supply chain both domestically and overseas.
The value I bring to your organization lies in the diversity of my experiences.

My background includes completion of 2 successful business start-ups, and a swift and successful business turnaround. I have held senior management positions from VP of Sales and Marketing to President and CEO. In all cases, the ability to develop and execute business strategy, capture the leading competitive market share and sustain growth have been the cornerstone of my strengths and achievements.

At this time, I am interested in a unique executive opportunity with a progressive organization with a solid infrastructure and a recognizable need for strong and decisive business leadership. I have enclosed my resume as a brief overview. I welcome the opportunity of meeting with you to discuss your needs in greater detail and how my particular experience can be a benefit.

Thank You,
