    After performing an evaluation of Indian Country Today, a weekly newspaper that was solely owned by the Oneida Nation of New York I recommended that we create the first Native American multi-media platform, filling a void that existed in the marketplace. Once the nation approved the plan, I directed the business from conception through launch through day to day operations, overseeing the creation of the infrastructure, staffing, P&L, marketing, branding, new business development and advertising. ICTMN launched in Jan. of 2011 with offices in Manhattan. It has since earned the reputation of being the first and only internationally recognized Native American media platform
