    On-demand is the brainchild of several investors who had built and sold companies into the CMGI group during the heady days of the Internet bubble. We provided Marketing Support for start-ups that were functioning in the fields of content development, brand management, strategy and constituency development.

  EARTHWATCH

  • Director of Marketing

    • 1977 - 1984

    EARTHWATCH serves as a clearinghouse matching motivated volunteers from the General Public with field research projects around the world. Starting in the mailroom, I developed along with this dynamic young organization, ultimately achieving Department Head Status with responsibilities for the Management of Five Departments (Front Office, IT, Membership, Marketing and Production). Along the way (being a lousy typist) I explored the potential of a rickety PDP-11, ultimately unleashing its capabilities and creating an "elegant" marketing database of over 300,000 individuals. It was here that I first discovered the "rush" of working with dynamic companies in their infancy.
