A New Season Begins

I like to think of life as a series of seasons. Like television shows, every year brings a new chance to reinvent yourself. After almost eight years with 101domain / Afilias, I am moving on to a new season in my career (still to be defined). So far, I’ve been fortunate to have worked with great companies like AT&T Wireless, CentralNic, 101domain, and Afilias.

I haven’t decided what to do next but if you see this and are looking for someone with a proven record in helping technology companies to grow, I would love to talk to you.

Domains: Essential to Brand-based Marketing

Building a recognized and trusted brand is more important than ever. Your domain name is more than a web address; it can be a strategic and integral part of your brand and brand marketing. Find out from domain marketing experts what you’re communicating through your domain and how to leverage the right domain(s) to amplify your brand’s messaging. This will be an essential session for marketers, brand managers, and anyone who wants to understand the power of domains in marketing. 

It’s all virtual. I hope you can come!
