yup - started off at VNU selling b2b print media space - moved into sales management and then online media sales, and sales management - at a local and multi national level - managed media sales for altavista (launched it) in seventeen countries and VP Sales for 24/7 in 11 countries for example.

Now provide support and insight to companies trying to do this themselves.
