About Gary
I have over 15 years of high technology product management, product marketing, and sales enablement experience including completing the suite of Pragmatic Marketing courses. These years are supported by my previous 8 years of technical and marketing writing and stand-up VAR training.
I am seeking a contract or permanent placement in a responsible role encompassing one or more components of a senior communications, product management, or product marketing role. I am open to both hands-on and managerial responsibilities and hope to combine them in my next role.
Video and web collaboration technologies and elearning have been a focus, but I am well versed in a variety of technologies. I am a proven fast learner and have worked with relational databases, semiconductor inspection equipment, document workflow products, and retail software and products offered directly and through reseller channels.
Other areas I have been involved with in a volunteer or paid capacity include advocacy for children with intense medical needs, historical documents, and audio podcast production.
