I started in search at Infoseek (AKA: Go Network, GO.com, Walt Disney Internet Group, WDIG). Then worked in search at Yahoo! on internal search projects (I was the Yahoo! Inside Yahoo!, hope that makes sense?). After that I spent a few years consulting...got tired of scope creep and chasing down paychecks and went back into industry in 2006 or 2007. I've worked on internal and external search projects for Symantec, McAfee, consulted on the Bing Toolbox launch via Crimson Consultants, was the director of Search Marketing at SAP, and now lead Search at NVIDIA.
It's been a long, fun-filled ride on the search wagon!
