Paul Mealey, concurrent with his duties
as a managing director at Pathfinder Associates, and sole owner of
Silvermine Media has been a technical and business Project Manager
for the past 15 years.
Paul has managed cross functional, and
internationally distrubuted teams successfully, time and again.
While the thrust of his experience is enterprise software and
business process engineering, he has significant experience running
self-contained, specialized Rapid Application Development, or "skunk works"
type teams design to launch products independently or
anticipate larger organization or project needs in advance.
In addition to his strong Product
Leadership acumen, Paul is well versed in all Product Management
practices, and has held significant product development leadership
roles throughout his career.
Mr. Mealey personally was a key player in
pre-planning, positioning and launch of WWE's successful social media suite of applications, as well
as directing the launch of My Sotheby's new client
portal and leading its deployment into production.
While at WWE,
Mr. Mealey also conceived the original business, architected the
financial business model, managed the business relationship with
creative partner Brothers by Choice, technology partner DigitalSmiths, and launched WWE SmashUps.
SmashUps is tightly controlled on-line
user generated audio and video platform which remains WWE's most
profitable online product to date. Smash ups derives all of its
revenue from branded sponsorships, rather than a pay per click or
pay per time on site model.
Paul was previously VP, and Web Master of
the Sothebys.com website and support team, and
was VP of Product Development for Ziff Davis
Internet.
