Dan Fineberg |
For nearly 30 years, Dan has
helped build markets and demand for innovative
technologies and solutions that transform the way we work,
learn and play. Starting in Silicon Valley in 1981, Dan
worked with system, software and network pioneers such as
the HP PC Division, Digital Research, and Nestar Systems
to launch and publicize their products.
As outbound marketing manager for start-up Micro Focus,
Dan drove an award-winning advertising campaign that
doubled the company's revenues in 1984. As marketing
director at Graphic Software Systems (GSS), Dan worked
with PC Magazine to deliver the first Windows benchmark
based on Windows functions—the magazine distributed 60,000
copies at COMDEX Fall 1989, establishing GSS as leading
experts in Windows graphics technology.
Intel recruited Dan in 1989. In 1990, he established
Intel's first UNIX reseller channel. In 1991, Dan drove
the launch of Intel's EtherExpress LAN adapters which
rapidly rose to the number-two market share position. In
1995, Dan drove Intel's Standard high Volume Server
campaign which defined a new product category that fueled
the Internet build-out—server shipments grew from hundreds
of thousands to more than 10 million units a year in less
than three years. Dan also managed the business
relationship between the Intel Enterprise Server Group and
Microsoft, culminating in 1997 with the first joint server
specification published by the two companies.
In 1998, Dan inspired Gartner Group to establish the
Business Value of IT service—it used data from Intel and
leading research institutes to helpe IT executives justify
greater investment in systems and software. In a similar
program in 2001, Dan worked with Meta Group and Addison
Wesley to publish the IT Best Practices series of books
for IT professionals. In 2002, Dan lead Intel's Web
Services Program Office which developed the Intel
Mobilized Software Initiative in support of the Centrino
Mobile Platform launch. Dan also worked in product
marketing and strategic marketing to help drive the
design, development and marketing of Intel Active
Management Technology which helps enterprise IT
departments discover, heal and protect laptops, desktops
and servers on their networks.
In 2007, Dan joined FEI Company, the technology leader in
electron microscopy. He managed the Electronics Division's
global marketing programs, where he drove the
semiconductor side of FEI's market-creation campaign for
the world's first Extreme High Resolution scanning
electron microscope. In 2008, Dan became Director of
Marketing for FEI's Industry Division where he integrated
the outbound marketing programs of two recently acquired
companies and also established FEI's first true
direct-relationship marketing operation in support of the
Phenom personal electron microscope.
In 2009, Dan joined forces with B2B Market Strategies
where he works to help firms develop markets and build
demand for products and solutions that deliver value and
innovation.
