I utilize my accounting and finance skills & experience ( Big Four Accounting, Fortune 500, CFO, FP&A) and my networking and alliances skills to optimize marketing and operational performance. My background has mostly been in the publishing/media and digital targeted marketing ecosystems. I am the principal of TechConnectr, a B2B performance marketing advisory firm. I am also host of the ABM Leaders' Group podcast series and best-practices guide in the B2B targeted lead generation marketing ecosystem - I work with agencies, enterprise marketers, publishers, channel partners, and predictive and data players. Add value to your organization. Contact me at Bob@TechConnectr.com. I am open to consulting and full-time positions where I can make an impact. As co-founder of NetLine Corporation, I led marketing optimization, partnerships, and client satisfaction. At QuinStreet/Ziff/ITBE, my team built an industry-leading partner network which exponentially increased capacity to fulfill challenging B2B lead gen programs & expectations. At Ziff Davis / Salesify, I enabled new sales and relationships which were not thought possible. At Knight-Ridder Newspapers and Deloite, I focused on accounting and business optimization solutions. I am respected in the B2B lead gen world for my analytics and for ‘playing well in the sandbox’ - developing synergistic relationships. I am known for my infectious enthusiasm, my CFO’s acumen, and my analyst’s curiosity and skills. I believe the secret sauce is in the data (including AI & intelligence) and relationships. ---- Specialties: Analytics, Partnerships & Business Development; Marketing Analytics and Customer Insights; Lead Generation Best Practices; Business Intelligence, Big Data & Predictive Analytics; Database Marketing, Retention Marketing, Targeting; Segmentation; Benchmarking & KPIs, Multi-Channel Marketing, Nurturing, Lead Scoring, Demand Generation Campaigns, Monetization, Attribution, Pricing, Forecasting, Innovation,
