  What an honor to join a business that has been a pillar of the San Francisco Maritime industry since 1849! The Marine Exchange became the eyes and ears for commercial shipping in the Bay Area with the gold rush and has held that position ever since. I had the pleasure of overseeing the 24/7/365 operations.

Cobaltix

• 1 - 100 Employee

• Director Software Group

  • 2007 - 2011

  What a great experience it was to work with this group of bright, energetic individuals with a focus on providing the best possible white glove services for its clients. In the beginning I operated as a department of one to build custom software solutions for the Cobaltix’ outsourced IT clients. We were able to grow the team rather quickly in the US and build a team of software developers overseas. Our projects grew well in size and complexity from simple MS Office automations to client-server, multi-location custom software solutions. I was fortunate enough to work with a variety of clients in many different industries, from food to medical to investment firms to maritime to just name a few. Working for this engaged company allowed me to acquire and hone my skills in project and team management, B2B sales and marketing. Show less
