Check out my book Community-in-a-Box. Also, if you are reading this and want to connect, that is AWESOME! Here are a few friendly tips to make our connection mutually valuable: 1) Spend some time checking out my last few posts. Like, comment, or share the ones that interest you. 2) Click the Follow button, see what I post and discuss with others over the week, and feel free to engage. 3) Send me a personalized request about you, why you want to connect, and what your favorite book is. Now for a bit about what I do... I am a community builder, author, software entrepreneur, business development expert, and startup founder from New York City and based in Taipei, but most often on a plane traveling the globe. I previously worked at AWS sharing the stories of how founders across the globe benefit from building and scaling their startups on AWS. In that capacity, I create content, speak & present, and enable my colleagues to build thriving startup communities. During that time, I also created a fast growing Founders in the Cloud newsletter for startup founders with over 6,000 subscribers. Before AWS, I was at Stack Overflow to help launch and commercialize their SaaS Q&A platform and then led efforts to expand business in APAC working with C-level executives to help them understand how to improve software delivery performance and team collaboration. I launched DEV.BIZ.OPS, a long standing community for technology leaders about coding, developers, engineering enablement, and the power of communities. I also founded the Enterprise Sales Forum, a global community of 25,000 B2B sales professionals that meet in-person and virtually through local chapters to share ideas, network with peers, and learn new skills. I also worked at a diverse group of leading technology companies including Oracle, E.piphany and Siebel in individual contributor and leadership roles. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Boston University. In my non-working hours, I like to tour around Chinatown exploring dumplings shacks, and I can generally be seen rocking out to extreme metal.
