Michael Parker

I am a product marketing and management executive with a broad base of experience in product marketing and management, channel marketing and management, and sales into companies from small, medium and enterprise. I am a strategic architect with the ability to translate early stage concepts into real business functions. I excel in technology and have a robust toolset grounded in best practices to support my work. I founded a marketing consultancy to apply new techniques to technology marketing that puts the customer, their challenges, and their value at the center, in addition to the product, its attributes and advantages. This experience broadened my marketplace and industry experience, and deepened my marketing and sales skills. My experience as a Fortune 500 sales, product management, and marketing executive includes the creation of product management and marketing organizations in multiple Pre-IPO companies. I have brought a broad array of technology products to market ranging from consumer desktops to enterprise applications and systems; object oriented to enterprise transaction development tools; wireless to wired networking. The products and strategies managed generated over $1B in revenues and the sales managed over $100M.
