I have worked in small and large companies, am an experienced entrepreneur, and have provided consulting services to start-ups, venture firms, and small companies. I've managed product P/L ranging from $500K - $25m as a product manager for K12 curriculum and administrative technology products. As such I've developed business plans for emerging and growth markets, developed and executed marketing plans for v1 and mature products, and managed product life cycles from conception through end of life. I have broad experience negotiating deals and maintain a broad network of contacts within the industry. My experience in the start-up and corporate world, in business management, partnerships, product development, curriculum and technology, and in the K12 industry and market provide valuable insight into the business models and issues relevant to launching and scaling a business in the education marketplace.
