Thomas Morling graduated from Syracuse University and the S.I. Newhouse School of PublicCommunications and began working in Silicon Valley as an engineer at Intel Corp. Intel moved him to New York in the early 1980’s, where he began a very successful career in sales and marketing with various technology companies in financial services. He opened and built the New York office for Steve Jobs’ NeXT Computers in 1990 providing state-of-the-art computer systems to financial, media and entertainment, and advertising customers and reaching a revenue peak of $27M in 1992.

He went on to help open the New York office for Viant in 1996, a highly influential consulting firm focusing on the Internet as a business platform for ecommerce and entertainment. At Viant, he was responsible for launching the first broadband music service on the Internet called Sputnik7 backed by Palm Pictures’ Chris Blackwell.

In early 2003, Thomas moved to another start-up called Induslogic located in Vienna, VA focused on bringing offshore development capabilities in India to small to medium sized software companies. Thomas organized and developed basic sales processes such as forecasting, pipeline management, and strategic account development and grew revenues from $1M to over $7M in two years.

Since 2005, Thomas has been retained as an independent consultant working with start-ups and emerging growth companies to achieve breakthrough revenue and business development goals. Client industries include subscription media, media and entertainment software, financial services software, and strategic consulting.

Several companies have engaged Thomas over the past year to develop and execute Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and SEO-driven marketing programs for lead generation. One HR consulting firm client achieved an in-bound sales lead growth of over 100x as a result of Thomas' work.
