CEO at Salescoutdata

BIO

I am the chief executive officer, reporting to our board of directors. I am ultimately responsible for driving shareholder value, leading our management team, growth strategy, and corporate vision. In 1982, after exiting a business I co-founded in Chicago, I decided to take a chance on something new and I went to work for Neodata in Boulder, Colorado. Little did I know at the time that I would be paired up with great mentors who shaped me into what I am today. That was the beginning of a long career in Data Compilation, Analytics, and Marketing Technology. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some of the greatest companies in the space. What I like most about SaleScout Data Solutions is that it is a B2B play. That space isn’t nearly as saturated as the consumer market, and there are very few providers of quality data. When I was doing my due diligence, I could see right away that SaleScout is different. They built their database using their own technology and unique relationships with data contributors. They were also fanatical about accuracy and focused only on key decisionmakers at businesses with 10 or more employees. That’s the sweet spot and it’s what everyone is looking for.
