Chief Shepherd
Blacksheep Productions
My professional history in the telecommunications and transaction processing industries have culminated very well to develop a skill set that is uniquely suited for the opportunity that I now have with BlackSheep Productions. What I enjoy most about this opportunity is the ability to work strategically with clients to meet and exceed their objectives as it relates specifically to their meetings and events. While this sometimes means executing an event exactly as a client had initially planned, I really enjoy helping clients tweak their ideas for maximum value and impact. I am keenly focused on developing strategic opportunities with vendors and partners for our mutual benefit and for the benefit of our current and future clients!

My primary responsibility was to establish relationships with provider partners and to manage the introduction and rollout of most of the products from existing and new provider partners. In addition, I enjoyed managing the direct day-to-day relationships with most of the 70 product providers.

Powertel was one of the largest wireless service providers in the southeast with a contiguous footprint covering the majority of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky and parts of Arkansas, Louisiana and South Carolina. InterCel was a rural cellular service provider in Georgia and Alabama that participated in the FCC auctions and later changed the name to Powertel, Inc.
