Advertising / Marketing / PR

After NewsEdge was acquired by The Thomson Corporation in 2002, my position as vice president of marketing was eliminated. I was fired. Sacked. My ideas were a little too radical for my new bosses. So I started my own business to advise companies and teach others through writing, speaking at conferences, and conducting seminars for corporate groups. The subject of all this work: Reaching your buyers directly to drive more revenue. I've written 10 books and am published in 26 languages. Three of my books are international bestsellers. I've delivered presentations on all 7 continents and in 40 countries.
