I am VP of Global Sales with Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). Bepress is a software development house for Digital Commons, a hosted institutional repository and publishing platform that is widely used by universities and colleges around the world. Prior to bepress, I was at Endeavor Information Systems as Director of Business Development and responsible for global business development of a large scale digital preservation platform and services being developed for major national libraries, research and government organizations. Companies I was with before Endeavor include a small software consulting firm in Chicago, SCT(now Sungard), Ovid, NOTIS and Geac. I've lived all over the US and Canada. I'm married and have two children. I have a Master's in Library and Information Science from the University of Toronto. I have a Master's in Environmental Studies from York University, also in Toronto.
