I am Blue Coda's founder and Director of Client Services. I oversee our project management and creative teams. I also manage our business development efforts and developed Blue Coda's expertise in higher education, healthcare, associations, and professional services. Part of my biz dev efforts were to cultivate our strategic partner alliances with our content management software providers. I like the web as you can imagine.

My background? Well, I began my career at the Vignette Corporation with the Advanced Business Analytics Group. My team developed web-based financial services tools for some really fun and impressive clients. As project manager, I was mostly responsible for all our web development and strategic planning.

I left Vignette to join Painted Word Consulting (now Palladium Es) and fine tune my consulting and usability skills. I had the opportunity to work with some amazing clients including GE, Charles Schwab, Liberty Mutual, and Cognos during my time at Painted Word.

After leaving Painted Word, I moved on to work for Liberty Mutual's Information Systems group prior to starting Blue Coda. I haven't looked back since.

My alma mater is Tufts University where I studied Human Factors Psychology and GUI design. I'm a member of MITX, Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, and the American Marketing Association Boston Chapter. When I'm not working, I play drums in a band. I'm also an avid snowboarder and kiteboarder - I guess I like extreme sports too.
