About Me

Jim Hirshfield
New York, NY, United States
I'm an entrepreneur that's worked at early-stage companies as well as large corporations. I've even started a few companies myself. Some of the companies I've been fortunate enough to be associated with are Reuters, WhoWhere, Wired, Lycos, PledgeBay, 10gen, Zemanta, ShoutEm, Tynt, and currently Disqus. My expertise is in sales, marketing, and business development - the things that help companies grow. The opinions expressed on this blog are those of my own and not necessarily my employers' view.
