Started PlusUp to provide a better level service in paid social. With offices in Atlanta and San Francisco, PlusUp supports clients across U.S. time zones with an unparalleled focus on customer success. Previously, I was Executive Vice President of Business Development at Brand Networks which provides social products and services to Fortune 500 companies and their agencies. Brand Networks had acquired Optimal where I ran sales & client services and grew the business from social advertising also-ran to a top five media buyer on both Facebook and Twitter in less than 18 months. Before Optimal, I built out North American sales and operations for TBG Digital, a successful UK-based social media buying agency and Facebook Ad API partner. TBG was acquired by Sprinklr. I formerly co-founded Incentive Networks (formerly known as Loyalty Ventures), operator of merchant-funded online loyalty programs for affinity and membership organizations in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France and Germany. We sold this business in July 2008 to Webloyalty, Inc. I have extensive experience building Internet businesses in a variety of leadership roles, including business development, sales, client services, marketing and product management.
