Chief Marketing Officer @ Evinced

About

I've been around. I've come up with ways to launch businesses in the US, built and repositioned brands, produced a guerilla television show about local bands, come up with award-winning products, built and led teams, run more than a few PR stunts, built huge partner pipelines, spoken to big crowds, written a financial education quiz twice a week for a few years, and recorded at Abbey Road. And made a lot of friends along the way. Working now at Evinced, an amazing technology company in a critical space. People with cognitive, vision, motor or other challenges have had a rough time out of the internet in the last 20 years. It's time to change all that.

CEO & Co-Founder

RABBL, Inc.

2012-9 - 2018-2 · 5 yrs 6 mos

San Francisco, CA

At the heart of the music business is the idea that somebody booking an artist has to take a risk--a risk that people will actually buy tickets to see that artist. RABBL was out to change all that, and with the help of some amazing investors we took a 5-year crack at it. As a side effect, we built probably the most innovative ticketing system in the music business.

We take your old photos, slides, and negatives and hand-scan them, which allows us to correct them for damage over the years, and send you archival-quality digital files. All for pennies per image.
