I developed the finmodel4 Excel financial model over a five-year period while running the Business Innovation Zone (the BIZ, www.bizci.org). The BIZ is a business accelerator focused on high-growth-potential startups. The majority of my clients at the BIZ are in the technology market segment. However, my clients also include manufacturers, service providers, and many other business types. I use this model regularly with my clients and also use it in my personal startup businesses.
I have close to 30 years of experience bringing new products to market, developing new market niches, and building vertical market solutions (primarily in the mobile computing industry). I have an extensive background in mobile computing, wireless communications, and Auto ID technologies. I began my career as a programmer in the early ‘80s with Norand Corp. Norand Corp was sold to Intermec Technologies Inc. in the late ‘90s. I held various positions within engineering, field sales, and marketing ending as Vice President of Marketing. Currently, I am an owner in three startup businesses along with my work at the BIZ.
