Andy Finkle (About Me )

I consult within the "social media and consumer software" space. I have created tremendous value for businesses and companies I have worked for and those where I provided consulting services. I generally surround myself with savvy/smart people that I can learn from and which I can debate and collaborate with. I am available on a consultative basis or as a full time hire. Here are a few examples of past consulting projects:


As the 1st hire at RoboForm and for a 4 year stretch I headed up all marketing and business development. I helped garnish a 90% share of the consumer password management market with more than 15 million downloads. I achieved this by discovering new ancillary revenue streams such as a paid search partnership with Yahoo. I negotiated strategic partnerships with companies such as Sandisk. I led the development of new products and was instrumental in identifying new areas for making the software more viral. Ultimately resulting in improved sales funnel (customer experience for shopping online) & enhanced UI.


Business & Product strategy for Tonethis.com where I helped TT to become the most popular software download on CNET’s Mobile category.


I am available to assist companies with its UI, sales funnel and online messaging. I provide assistance with writing business and/or marketing plans and help businesses in raising capital. Services include identification of the best suited strategic partners, negotiating for best terms, and closing the deal. I provide strategic planning for next product/generation or start-up in your respective market(s) and advise on what features and functionality are needed. I can manage your Public Relations strategy. Services include recommendation for where to advertise online and how much to spend. I am an effective and proven negotiator and able to secure excellent rates. I advise on how to make products more viral. I consult on development for successful "social media" strategy.

I understand the complexities and nuances of web interaction and would like to help YOU succeed!
