Gabrielle, Mike, Jim, Rebecca, Marcus - Thank you all for an enjoyable and inspiring afternoon.

It felt more like a working session than an interview… which is a good sign.

I hope I positioned myself as the person that can support your goals and dynamically handle anything this role requires and evolves to. I would be proud to work with you. As you see. I am enthusiastic about the challenge.

Here are my first 3 promises:

1) Unburden your time and mind ... with complete “Content Logistics” before, during, and after events so you can focus on your priorities and evolution.

2) Keep you ahead of the market ... and the epicenter of Corporate/Startup solutions with (r)evolutionary content and new solution services. 

3) Feed and develop your Marketing and Sales machine ... across your relationship matrix so Corporate Members get the most from MIT. There will also be no question where they will deploy their next big R&D projects.

As you saw in my resume I have the range of experience to handle anything across all your relationships and touchpoints.


The above is to demonstrate my ability to focus on the fundamentals …  So, below is optional.

With me, there is always more (for when the time is right).  I would like to make sure you all know I have the experience and capabilities you require across Startups, Corporations, event management, speaker sourcing/engagement, content creation, media distribution, partner outsourcing, analysis, optimization and ALWAYS Business Development.

Here are a few highlights from the slides I shared with you - see below deck.

A) To demonstrate being proactive in this position, this is a new mock-up of an event inspired by a STEX25 company, Legit.ai. Although just a draft, I can see this topic unfold as a long-term initiative that is relevant to your agendas, your ecosystem, and market needs.

B) I am a Sales & Marketing Coach to Startups thru CIC, MassChallenge, CambridgeInno, etc. Read my latest tutorial at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/selling-out-10-elements-david-cutler/- a current example is being an Advisor for the International business event optimization portal www.EventAdvisor.com

C)  At my Corporate clients, I understand the the importance of the individual intent of my "champions." An example is growing my relationship (and sales) by getting my Anheuser-Busch influencer a speaking and workshop engagement at the Front End of Innovation Conference.

D) I help blockchain Startup www.Nuarca.com with special projects. One is multi-phase interaction with IBM for exponential sales opportunities.

E) I managed the entire Boston Innovation Challenge Hackathon series and successfully delivered on the goals of my client, The Boston Globe: position their GlobeLab as a progressive media technology department, engage directly with the Startup community (several tech Associations had their own HackTeams), and find the best developers (they hired 5 people during custom deep-dive sessions). Read about how Boston got a great entertainment app and the Red Cross has an app that will save lives at  www.bit.ly/BICwinners_Everyone

F) As a volunteer co-founding Board member of the North Shore Technology Council, I exercise my community responsibilities, principles and goals.  I have been involved with every aspect of this event-centric Association. Including;  program ideation and development, speaker acquisition and guidance, community feedback and re-alignment. One of our best spin-offs is the Biotech and Cleantech incubator NSIV - https://nsiv.org/nsiv-about/#impact. Our latest initiative is working with Mass Tech Collaborative to design and deploy a better playbook for Leadership Peer Group Roundtables – check it out at https://nstc.org/leadership-roundtables/

G) For years, I have been covering “Creative Business Development For Your Digital Marketing Diet” here at www.EatMedia.com

More… when the time is right.

Here are the slides I shared:
