Terapeak

With a focus on providing eBay market insights, Terapeak works to provide its clients with the understanding to make informed decisions about the marketing, investment, and management of their online businesses.

My role was to manage our large clients (eBay, X.com and Yahoo! JAPAN) while maintaining responsibility for on-boarding all new marketplace clients.  Directed a team of two people and provided leadership across diverse cross functional teams to on-board new marketplaces to the Terapeak eco-system.
