Internet Barter Inc. / BarterTrust
Chief Internet Architect; Director of Operations & IT - San Francisco / California
September 1999 to May 2000
- Planned & built secure (banking-grade) Internet presence
- Planned, staffed, and managed high-growth corporate IT & Internet operations through several domestic and international acquisitions
Narrative:
Planned, built, managed, and scaled the Internet presence, the build-out of the initial co-location in a local data center (the Globix facility, see also below, a data center which I previously built) from a 20x20 highly secured cage to an optional 40x40 presence per data center.
Planned, built, and managed a production team, a MIS team, and a Telecom/Facilities team, all system administration, hiring all technical personnel (Unix: Solaris, Linux & AIX / NT SysAdmins, Application Admins, Oracle DBAs), building a 7x24 NOC, as well as all related vendor negotiations.
Managed and scaled all MIS during high-growth period (17 to 220 employees through 10 domestic and international acquisitions), including planning, build-out and managing data integration for the 16 initial and now more offices within and outside the US (including PBXs, VPNs, completely new infrastructure, PCs, servers, etc).
Bartertrust.com was a global company, moving the traditional 1-on-1 bartering market ($16 Billion in US, $64 Billion worldwide in 1999) to a new level worldwide by introducing a virtual currency and facilitating the web for trades, which allowed a much greater number of business’ to become beneficiaries. With a senior management team (which has been successful with previous start-ups), acquisitions within the US and globally, and huge investor interest, bartertrust.com was already the largest barter company in North America with a multi-million dollar revenue (after only 8 months since incorporation), and soon became the largest bartering company worldwide.
