Bio
Xander Kotsatos
I worked with Joel while I was employed at ValueClick Media (now Conversant) and partnered with Ashford to execute online display campaigns as a member of the account management and strategy team. Joel is an expert in all facets of Display advertising. I was constantly in awe of his ability to juggle multiple roles and still be able to roll up his sleeves and dive into the details of his campaign and make important optimization decisions. While clearly a master of e-commerce, particularly in the jewelry/watch/accessories vertical, he is someone who is able to think critically about problems of many different kinds. He truly is a digital renaissance man with many quantitative and qualitative talents. I highly recommend Joel on a personal and professional level and thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated our time working together.

Joel is a digital marketing expert that all young professionals in this industry should hope to work with and learn from. He has a wealth of knowledge about global e-commerce and has mastered the art of running a successful online business by effectively managing the complex interplay of omni-channel marketing. His open-mindedness, keen insight into luxury retail, and willingness to share made him the ideal client to work with. I highly recommend working with Joel in any capacity.
