Michael Weston’s Summary

An inspirational leader and strong team player, my entrepreneurial and commercial skills equip me to build success in rapid growth environments.

I started in digital marketing when the industry was in its infancy, experiencing boom, bust and rebirth over the past dozen year - and helping my companies win in each market phase.

I've launched - and successfully sold - my own business (Digital Oxygen), then gone on to grow the newly acquired business to a position of market leadership, providing technology, services and strategies to help leading marketers unlock the values of their online relationships.

I currently lead the sales effort at wunderloop across international markets (UK, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands), , building and developing business with media owners, advertising agencies and telcos.

Michael Weston’s Specialties:

A dedication to excellence in responsibility for P&L, sales, marketing, leadership, customer service, HR and all aspects of senior management. Entrepreneurial and highly successful.
