Welcome to SanfordDickert.com
Cutting-Edge Technologist. Product Strategy Evangelist. Social Media Marketeer. Democratic Consultant. Systems Engineering
and (former) Dance Instructor.
An NYU MBA student gave my thirty-second pitch as "online product and customer engagement strategist applying engineering design
principles and a strong network of experts to solve challenging market problems that need an innovative implementation."
Quite a mouthful. I found an easier way of saying it:
I build products, I build people, and I build organizations.
If I am on the West Coast, I would be termed a Product Director, managing the business processes for taking products from cradle to grave. On the East Coast, the term General Contractor for Technology-Based Products would be more inline with the thinking.
My overarching role is to help solve fundamental business/organizational problem and deliver the best, most cost-effective solution successfully.
What can I do to help you?
