Certified Biofield Tuner and science writer

I have successfully created and led innovative Internet start-ups in Silicon Valley, Beijing and NYC over the past 30 years. Most recently, I was the Chief Product Officer for Local Commerce at Hearst, one of the world's leading media and information companies. After deciding to retire from business, I became a Certified Biofield Tuner (www.tuningbytom.com). After graduating from Yale and the Harvard Business School, I worked for years at IBM and McKinsey. In 1992, I leveraged my technical and business skills as a principal executive at five high-profile and successful Silicon Valley internet start-ups. I moved to Beijing in 2004, where I co-founded and then sold two successful Internet media companies over the next 9 years. In 2013, I moved to NYC and was hired as the interim Chief Marketing Officer for MongoDB, before founding Show-Score, which is now the leading online community for theater. I promoted my Show-Score co-founder to be a first-time CEO, as I became a part-time Chairman. We eventually sold the company to TodayTix, which continues to expand the Show-Score brand. I then joined Hearst, which created a role for me to lead their local commerce product efforts across 76 newspaper and 35 TV sites within the US. I am very good at: - Crafting strategies based on rigorous analysis and creative thinking - Building diverse teams across all functional areas, and ensuring that everyone stays aligned - Designing and product managing innovative internet applications that consumers love to use - Crafting and closing a wide range of strategic deals with business partners - Communicating with investors, the media, and business partners, especially about innovative technologies - Using biofield tuning to help people relax and feel better about their physical and emotional issues.
