How I Can Help You

I have been a SCORE mentor since 2017. Previously, I worked for more than 40 years in the field of business-to-business publishing, publishing trade magazines for the restaurant/foodservice industry. Two were startups; one I took over in a turnaround situation.

These magazines ranged from broad-based magazine for the foodservice industry as a whole (fast food to fine dining) to "niche" publications for chain restaurant executives and chefs/chef-driven restaurants. I was primarily responsible for advertising sales, marketing of the brand, market research, audience development and collaboration with the editorial team. I was also responsible for bottom-line P&L management.

I find that the fundamentals of marketing, branding, communications, sales and finance are applicable to virtually all entrepreneurs and small business owners, and I enjoy helping them think through their ideas, overcome obstacles and find their own path towards success.
