“Reporting to Scott I've experienced firsthand how effective of a leader a company's President & COO can be. He empowers employees through trust and feedback, broadens thinking through discussions and idea sharing, never hesitates helping out wherever needed, and is a balanced gatekeeper when it comes to ideas that can move a company forward or sidetrack it. He also demonstrates support for work/life balance and the importance of prioritizing family and health as needed, which makes it easy for employees to feel invested and supported. It's not everyday you work with an executive who has experienced life on both coasts and the Midwest, the campus of MIT, the set of Jeopardy, and multiple improv stages. But this collection of life experiences have played a valuable role in becoming an effective leader and enjoyable colleague.”

Here's how you can transform a failed product into a marketing success story.
If your product launch didn't take off like you expected, it's a great time to analyze everything you can about your early adopters. Make sure you know exactly what product benefits they responded to, and double down on those features. You may have wanted a "big bang" launch right out of the gate, but in reality, many successful products first start growing with a small core of rabid fans. Talk to them, become intimately familiar with them, and go find more of them.
