Looking for My Next Big Thing

L
The Next Big Thing
What's Al's Next Big Thing?

UPDATE:  I’ve found my next big thing, and it’s called Embarke!  I was accepted to the Founder Institute in March of 2011, and graduated after 4 grueling months of entrepreneurial incubation.  I met my cofounder Bryan Hall through the program, and we’ve started a new company.  Our beta was in July 2011, and the rest is (or will be) history.  Have a look at our site, and let us know what you think! http://embarke.com

If you’ve found this page, you were probably sent here by a social network (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) that allows too few characters to get a point across.

Thanks for getting this far!

Friends, Family and Colleagues: I’m currently in the market for a career shift and decided I might give some of my social networks a shake to see if any apples fall from the tree!

Some of you know me better than others, so a few can probably skip this somewhat self-serving paragraph!  I’m a business minded, technically inclined individual with a wide variety of real-world skills.  I’m currently a consultant as a CTO and a CMO, and I’m looking for a high-level position with an exciting company that can leverage my technical, business, operational, and marketing abilities.

As corny as this may sound – I’m looking for my next big thing, not “just another job” – and would love any help in finding it!

Start-ups with great ideas, co-founders looking for ideas (I have many), established organizations, anything with excitement and energy are on the list.  I’m not married to any particular industry, and might welcome a change as long as my skillsets can be put to good use.

If you or someone you know would like to learn a bit more, check out this page about me.

Thanks VERY much in advance!
Cheers!
AL
