I have over 15 years of global product marketing and business development experience with General Electric, Sun Microsystems and several small software companies. My experience includes content and message development for print and electronic marketing campaigns both in the U.S. and globally. I've launched marketing programs throughout Europe that increased lead generation rates by 30% and website traffic by 40%, designed business development program that generated over $6 million in sales opportunities over two quarters, and launched global partner incentive programs that generated over $1.6 million in revenue. I currently own Tucson Transatlantic Trade (TTT), which focuses on assisting companies in the renewable energy, construction, food processing and aerospace/defense sectors expand into global markets profitably and with minimal risk. Specific services TTT offers include joint venture formation, technology licensing, sales/marketing channel development and capital acquisition. I also coordinate TechEDge, an educational program for technology companies for the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) of Greater Phoenix.
