The Ad Podcast

While carrying the “ethos” of a Marketing Technologist to many enterprises, He's always possessed a firm understanding of how technology has continued to transform the discipline of Marketing while disrupting today’s conventional consumer engagement models. Over that past 20+ years his communications experience ranges from African American, Hispanic, LGBT, Asian American, Arab American, Indian, Boomers, Millennials, Urban, GM to International.
He's been an audience "segmentation specialist" for clients looking to enhance their brand positioning by rethinking and redefining their Go-To-Market approach. Some of them include the likes of Lexus, NYPD, Medline, State Fair, Spalding, HBO, MCD, LA Sparks, Game Show Network, Verizon Wireless, Clear brand under Unilever, Ford Division, Lincoln Mercury, Burger King, Colgate, HSBC, Time Warner Cable, Home Depot, AstraZeneca, US Marines, Pfizer, Novartis, Merck, and Hyatt Resorts.
His vantage point is oriented around enhancing a clients’ Brand building efforts through ROI driven programs that leverage unique consumer insights and deliver relevant customer experience. I've always thought outside the traditional framework to solving business problems because the only thing constant is EVOLUTION.
He has also done guest speaking for Meltwater Social, MediaPost, Digiday, ThinkLA, CYNOPSIS, Adweek, and The VAB inclusive of live and virtual events. In the past, he's participated in guest speaker series for NYU, Baruch, University of Maryland, University of Nevada, and Georgetown.

Other than Strategic Intuition and the Human Truths in Marketing, "gratitude" is one thing he value deeply in business. Meaning, being grateful for how open-minded he's been to constantly challenge and even disrupt my own thinking!
