Dave focuses on developing the product vision, building the team and
making TeachStreet an inspirational place to accomplish great things.
Dave developed his experience creating customer-focused marketplace initiatives at Amazon.com, JibJab and Unitus.
He has deep experience in online marketing, search engine optimization
(SEO), affiliate marketing, and high-impact public relations– yes, he
spends a LOT of time online. As a Director at Amazon.com from '98-'04,
he was a driving force in the emergence of the marketplace platform
(used and new product sales by third-party merchants) that grew from 0%
to more than 24% of Amazon's unit sales today.
Prior to joining Amazon, Dave was a CPA and consultant
with Arthur Andersen LLP. Dave attended the MBA program at The Wharton
School at the University of Pennsylvania and has a BS from the
Pennsylvania State University.
