Theo needs a gig

One of our favorite marketing guys, Theo Durst, was at a “dotcom” that recently imploded, so now he’s looking for a new gig. He’s been a big help to us here at ZATZ, and so we figured we’d give him a plug. He’s got ten years of sales and marketing under his belt, he’s managed products and services, built distribution channels, and done work with an ASP and with marketing Palm OS verticals. He’s located outside of New York City but is willing to relocate. He asks you to contact him at theodoredurst@aol.com with any consulting projects or job opportunities. If you don’t have either, he asks you to send cookies.
