My Role at Commerce Guys

on Mon, 06/11/2012 - 16:56

Today marks a new phase for me; I have joined the Commerce Guys as Director of Product Operations. This role will see me  working closely with the product development, sales, business development, and marketing teams to create and bring to market a product lineup focused on Drupal Commerce, and eCommerce in general.

The four years I spent at Acquia have been nothing short of spectacular. I had the great fortune of doing a bit of everything; engineering, support, documentation, professional services, sales, evangelism, and even music consulting (I provided the tracks that played on our phone system for many years). To Dries and the entire team, a big Thank You!

The Commerce Guys have always held a special place in my heart. I was fortunate to lend a hand in their early development, and I've been a member of their Advisory Board for three years. Now I'm eager to step in and help make Commerce a key asset in Drupal's success.

Congratulations! Commerce Guys has been one of the most exciting Drupal companies to watch. They certainly have their ear on the pulse of Drupal's e-commerce segment. Best wishes.

I submitted a RFP several weeks ago and have heard nothing. Phone calls to find out status are equally unsuccessful. If you aren't interested at least let us know.

Kudos Robert and Commerce Guys both! Between this and Open Goldberg, sounds like you've been very busy! Congratulations again.

Between the 5M venture capital funding and now Robert's arrival as a Director....
I'm going to say the more valuable of the two events is the new Director!

Congrats to both parties. My already high expectations of the Commerce Guys just increased an order of magnitude!!
