CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF SAAS DELIVERY PLATFORM, ENTERTAINMENT TECH PLAY

Currently serving as COO of Drop Delivery, the cannabis industry's only all-in-one compliant delivery management platform that raised $1M in a crowdfund in 2020 and was recognized by Cannabis & Tech Today in December 2020 as elevating the user experience in cannabis-on-demand. Drop empowers business owners to manage inventory, dispatch and driver logistics, marketing tools, digital loyalty programs, and their own white-labeled e-commerce app so cannabis businesses can launch their own delivery services within hours.

Most recently, as COO and co-founder of Second Screen, Inc.’s 10 Block, an award-winning mobile streaming startup I was venture-backed by Mogility Capital, and advised by entertainment industry leaders with backgrounds at Universal Studios/NBCU, DreamWorks Animation, Disney, and Paramount Studios.

What SXSW 2019 recognized as a top-10 cutting edge product release in the app stores had evolved during my tenure from a short-form streaming platform with social aspects to a pandemic-era universal discovery tool minus the content, allowing viewers to make playlists, review, discuss content across all television platforms — think of it as a TV guide for the social generation, with a patent pending. Also, a marketing tool for the industry from studios to filmmakers.

STARTUP PRODUCT CREATIVE DIRECTOR, EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Leading early growth, product strategy, community building and operations at a  publishing platform in San Francisco, I developed the product from high-level creative direction all the way to intensive face-to-face user testing and back again through input on UX decisions to quality assurance.

I've led an independent two-year brand publishing proof-of-concept on that multimedia publishing platform.

NEW YORK & HOLLYWOOD JOURNALISM, PUBLISHING, ENTERTAINMENT

As business editor at a pioneer Silicon Alley trade magazine for Internet technology and ebusiness, I specialized in digital publishing, website usability, privacy issues, online marketing, customer relationship management, and breaking industry news.

I've moderated ebusiness panels at Chicago-NYC-LA conventions, and represented the publication at events organized by Wall Street and Internet industry analysts. I brought talent to the company including cover subjects and fellow media pros.

In Los Angeles I worked at a major motion picture studio, and for producers of music, tv and Broadway theatre.
