I am an entrepreneur focused on building market-changing businesses. My last big venture was PartMiner (www.partminer.com), where I built an information and transaction platform to revolutionalize the highly inefficient semiconductor industry.Recently, I have been focused on a much sexier space - consumer goods. More specifically, luxury goods. Portero (www.portero.com) is redefining the way we buy and sell valuable items online. It operates like eBay, but exclusively for higher end items, and solves many of the trust issues rampant in the online auction world.Currently, I'm concentrating my resources on building the FutureShop platform to help individuals and companies understand and embrace the new "auction culture" paradigm which is about to rewrite the rules of shopping and owning things as we know them today.
