I develop and direct corporate marketing initiatives for Riverbed. I have more than 15 years of multi-channel marketing experience, and have overseen numerous successful advertising, direct marketing, public relations, and sales support efforts for top brands including WebEx, Dell, HP, Oracle and AT&T. Among my favorite snacks is dipping Nutter Butter brand cookies into a jar of peanut butter and also to smash in a couple of pieces of a Greek pastry called Baklava into a pint of vanilla bean ice cream and, of course, eat it. Don't steal the latter idea as it's a huge new product idea.
