Trish Barber has been a colleague of mine since 1992. We first hired her at Redgate Communications to be responsible for servicing accounts in our Boston office including Fidelity Investments, America Online and Nynex. When Redgate was acquired by America Online, she worked at the highest levels of AOL to support our growing need for marketing communications and general business management.
Trish has seen it all. As a ten year veteran of AOL, she is familiar with high growth situations, startup projects/ventures, major partnerships and mergers as well as periods of restructuring/reprioritization/downsizing. Trish has been a successful strategic leader in the company with developed expertise in all aspects of the local online space as well as partnership development, revenue strategy/execution, online community development and marketing promotions. I have no doubt her clients will benefit from her vision, tenacity and ability to manage people and projects to greater success.
I highly recommend Trish Barber as a reputable business person who will make great contributions to your growing business.

I have had the privilege and opportunity to work closely with Trish Barber in a variety of relationships while we were employed by AOL. Trish was an early online adopter and she pioneered local content and advertising sales.
