Between 2014 and 2019, saved Evite (100M+ unique users/year) from the "MySpace slide" and successfully brought the business from systemic degradation to user stabilization, user growth, revenue diversification, and finally revenue growth. Between 2020 and 2021 successfully navigated the business through the existential impact of COVID19, including an extraction from Liberty Media and a complete cost and business refactor--resulting in 2021 being the strongest financial year in the company's history.
