This year, I made a huge professional leap from independent consultant to corporate executive. I made a personal leap as well and got engaged to the love of my life, Chris McCaffrey. There are very few words or phrases that can encompass what’s next, but in the words of my dear friend Gary Vaynerchuk, there’s [...]

Back in January when I wrote Re-design 2009, I never imagined that my redesign would include an executive position with a leading global public relations firm. In fact, I didn’t even realize that over the last few years I had become a “PR person.” I just wanted more flexibility in my project choices and changed [...]

For those of you that don’t know about it, Internet Week New York is a week-long festival of events saluting New York’s thriving Internet industry and the many [...]

Well, this is the last of my 9 posts featuring the participants of the Windows Mobile Fantasy Application promotion.
