Helped to structure and launch this for social and online media engagement, and "social influencer" monetization for fashion, food, travel and lifestyle.

Founded 1995, FAME's sole purpose has been to share information about the world financial and monetary system, with particular regard to fiat currencies and the economic models and economies that rely on them. Such models have existed for all of recorded history, at different times serving to empower and advance their participants along with their governing and governance structures. While frequent criticism includes repeated examples of currency collapse and failure - along with the economic models dependent on them - they generally formed and served to address the problems of their day. They also generally succeeded at producing greater prosperity and freedom for their participants, in some cases lasting hundreds of years. DLT secured by blockchain represents the first new potential and departure from previous economic models and the promises and medium of exchange that binds them together.

CELF's original goal was to improve the health and wellness of its community and users, and to incentivize and reward the ecosystem for it's help. A blockchain enabled token or online identity - immutable by design, accessible by permission, and controlled completely and only by each user or token holder would provide a quantified CELF token.

With a mission to democratize science and support collaboration, Simbiot (SIMple BIOinformatic Tool) is a revolutionary SaaS based centralized computational infrastructure for management and analysis of high-throughput nucleic acid data with primary focus on data produced by next generation sequencing (NGS) devices. Similar to DNAnexus, and much like a "Bloomberg Terminal" but for science (vs finance), Simbiot is deployable to any cloud such as Amazon, Google or IBM and provides a SaaS based GUI or dashboard for scientific (mainly genomic) analysis, collaboration and research globally.

Co-Founded InPrint.com to partner with book authors, recapture (revert) their publishing rights from former publishers such as Random House, Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins and others, and bring their books back into print. Devised and designed the business process automation and workflow system (sometimes called RPA) capable of managing all legal compliance, rights reversion, and state of the art production with an ability to bring a completely re-editable book, new cover art, new layout, together with copyright and other rights management in 48 hrs. - unprecedented at the time. Appointed President of then 50 years old Publisher's Financial Roundtable which counted C-Suite involvement of every major US publisher. Worked extensively with superstar authors, their agents, and respective law firms. Developed and implemented the digital supply chain and digital rights management, and financial model and ecosystem that would incentive and reward authors, agents, booksellers and others.

What began an internship two years into college, transitioned to fully time to help drive new product and market development, and turn around a promising software startup (5MM raised, 36 employees at the time of my engagement). Subsequent product (an early MS DOS based macro generator), was praised by users and press (three features in the NY Times) as helping users double and in some cases triple their productivity and incomes. Conceived and executed all aspects of product and market development, marketing programs, sales and pricing strategy, and everything in between.
