From October 2010 to August 2011 (11 months) VP of Marketing (Seed Stage Company) @ Despite the title of VP/Marketing/Sales, my role also included tasks from product management, project management, and business operations. The company was fairly small when I joined (a startup with 3 people) and we grew it to 25 people in the US and many more oversees, with local product development and custom technology development, manufacturing oversees, and shipping worldwide, including straight to consumers from our Berkeley office, as well as large containers shipping from China to distribution centers in the US and the Netherlands. I addressed issues that affect the growth of the sales or brand value, including customer service, product development, B2B and distributor/partner relations, import/export shipping procedures, branding, social networking, and administrative systems that enable us to more effectively bring our products to market. I enjoyed learning to apply Agile methodologies for marketing and operations efforts, using a derivative of scrum and test-driven development to get marketing, logistics, and financial infrastructure deployed as quickly as possible so resources could be reassigned back to software and hardware product development. While the prescriptive meetings advocated by Scrum were marginally effective, the use of a kanban wallboard drastically improved team and stakeholder visibility into progress of the projects. + Managed and worked with a team of 20+ people to strategize, design and implement roadmaps for half a dozen hardware and software products, and the projects to execute on them. + Sold over 20,000 units of Batt-O-Meter accessory product worldwide within first 6 months + Implemented process to systematically manage company relationships through strict project management.

From July 2000 to February 2002 (1 year 8 months) Administrative Assistant (Summer Temp), Consular Affairs @ While living in Poland I worked every summer with the Consul General's Office at the United States Embassy in Warsaw, Poland.
