My technology leadership and vision have touched every level of business growth and success. More of a CTO+ than just a CTO, I am a technology leader who contributes not just technology but also business strategy, product development, product marketing, etc. If the mandate exists at ANY intersection of business, technology, digital strategy or media/social media, I’m the leader who defines the vision and executes to perfection. I AM… • an IT strategist with a holistic view of how enterprise technology meets business needs • a digital media specialist who led the global launch of Meta’s $1B content creator ecosystem for Facebook • the CTO who orchestrated BET’s launch into online media content and grew it into the leading online entertainment site for African Americans • the Head of Product/CTO who led development of one of the first influencer marketing platforms with Reelio/Fullscreen • the President/CEO who partnered with Def Jam Recording’s founder Russell Simmons on a new social media platform for the global hip-hop community • a recognized thought leader, TEDx speaker and consultant to the White House on technology adoption I have been a change agent in the digital space for over 20 years and have initiated and grown new business opportunities in every position I’ve held. Whether establishing or scaling technology operations, defining the digital strategies for new internet ventures or turning around underperforming architectures, I build the right environment and fit the right pieces together in the right way. I set technology and digital visions, build great teams, drive change, and am at my best when blazing new trails and leading where there’s no established path before us – that’s where I thrive. My approaches to digital media, the internet and business have led to a number of high-profile speaking and consulting engagements, something I love and continue to do. I’ve appeared in the Huffington Post, in TEDx talks, on the Steve Harvey radio show, was recognized in Black Enterprise Magazine’s “Top 10 People to Watch in Technology” and if you Google me you’ll find multiple other talks and appearances.

I am an executive product management, business development and strategy leader. During my career I’ve established a track record of repeated success. I contribute much of these repeated successes to being data driven. I also have an exceptional ability to conceptualize both the final product and the processes needed to realize that final vision. I truly thrive on the complex nature of my work, the challenge of being accountable for an array of details, and the deft hand it requires for customer management while concurrently keeping all the cross-functional contributors focused on success. Yes, the development must be solid and the testing thorough, but it is on me to communicate with Legal, Sales, Marketing, Compliance, management, investors, everyone, they all need to in-sync with the vision. And I, as the leader, must be able to listen and adapt to the situation and the input I receive. I am an outstanding communicator that cultivates relationships and facilitates an easy dialogue between all the various stakeholders. I have found it rewarding to be good at my job. But as I’ve grown in my career, I’ve learned that my hard work isn't enough. Yes, I need to do my part, and I need to have my own accomplishments, but that can only take me so far. So, while my skills, abilities, and experiences were and will continue to be instrumental to my accomplishments, I know that real achievements happen while collaborating with great colleagues and staff. Thank you for taking the time to look at my LinkedIn! I am actively pursuing my next great challenge.
