Successful Silicon Valley Professionals Offer Guidance to Company and Entrepreneurial Clients
PALO ALTO, Calif. (Business Wire) - November 11, 2008 - Market4Demand, Inc., a Silicon Valley technology marketing consulting firm, announced today that the company has unveiled a new corporate Advisory Board program. The Advisory Board will consist of respected and successful Silicon Valley professionals committed to helping Market4Demand meet its goals for continued expansion and further their knowledge in business issues entrepreneurs face as their companies move from ideas to exit strategies. Along with this announcement, Market4Demand named the first two Advisory Board members: Brian Reaves, vice president of service delivery for Coghead; and Chris Gill, president and chief executive officer for Silicon Valley Association of Startup Entrepreneurs (SVASE).
"Having co-founded eight companies, I have personally lived through many start-up and growth scenarios, and these experiences have given me a passion to help other entrepreneurs navigate the opportunities and pitfalls of company development," said Chris Gill. "I'm honored to assist the Market4Demand executives in their own management and scaling matters as well as provide insight about the entrepreneurial mindset and startup trends."
The Market4Demand Advisory Board members all bring experience and unique insights into business issues for both Market4Demand and its entrepreneurial clientele. Mr. Reaves has strong management and product development expertise gleaned from several prior executive positions at companies such as Xerox Corporation and Covigna Incorporated. Mr. Gill offers significant entrepreneurial business management expertise as the founder of 8 companies, taking 6 to successful liquidity events, across a 30-year period. Together, the Advisory Board members will help Market4Demand grow and expand its service offerings designed for entrepreneurs.
"I'm impressed when any management team reaches out to the business community to ask for guidance," said Brian Reaves. "Successful companies are usually a result of managers that seek and evaluate many different avenues for direction. I'm excited to help guide Market4Demand in any way that I can."
"We believe that the experience and enthusiasm shown by Brian and Chris will be invaluable as we build a scalable organization that continues to attract and retain entrepreneurial customers along with seasoned, productive employees that have a passion for technology and innovation," said Sarah Autrand, founder and chief executive officer of Market4Demand, Inc.
