As a Creative Catalyst with AdHocnium, he now offers his strategy and consulting services to consumer brands, technology companies and startups to help them transform into a Social Business. He is also returning to his entrepreneurial roots and is in the midst of launching an Enterprise SaaS company that is still in stealth mode.
