Speaking Engagements
Before Torque AI, I built and sold the agency Silverback. I helped grow Buddy Media, which was acquired by Salesforce for $1B. Additionally, I launched four tech conferences have made hundreds of television appearances. I even delivered a keynote for the U.S. Marines aboard the Intrepid. I’ve been featured in Forbes, Fortune, and Sports Illustrated. I even delivered a TEDx talk.
I’ve got degrees from Loyola and NYU. I also have certifications from MIT and Scrum.
None of that matters if I can’t help you grow your business. That’s what this is all about. Cue the Rocky music.
