I am currently at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern as an F.C. Austin Scholar in the 2-year MBA program. This is my first time living in a state that does not touch a major body of salt water. As a New Yorker, I will continue to insist no matter where I live that one "stands on line" to buy movie tickets, not "in line." Previous to Kellogg I was the Director of Product Marketing at Data Robotics, a leading SMB data storage vendor, from 2007-2009 in Santa Clara, CA. Many people think storage is boring. I get jazzed about it. Seriously, I do love storage & anything that goes RAID in the night. If you need storage, you really owe it to yourself to check out Data Robotics Drobo line of storage products. Prior to that I was a technology venture capitalist with RRE Ventures in New York. Investments while at RRE included Data Robotics (Storage), iCrossing (Digital Marketing/SEO), OpenPeak (Consumer Hardware Systems) and Rave Wireless (Mobile). Who wouldn't love being a VC? Before joining RRE I worked on technology, media and telecom mergers and acquisitions and corporate finance with Goldman Sachs in their lovely 85 Broad Street headquarters in New York. I've never worked so hard in my life. In 2004 I was a Contributing
 Researcher
 to 
a 
series 
of 
articles 
in 
The 
Wall
 Street 
Journal 
that 
won
 a
 
Pulitzer 
Prize 
in 
Journalism
. In 2007 I came really, really close to accepting angel funding for a business plan I was kicking around in the consumer home health monitoring space, but never did because I didn't feel like I had the right team in place to win. I expect to receive my MBA from Kellogg in 2011. I received my BA in Political Science with Distinction from Stanford University in 2003 (Yes, all you kids out there--it's true, you can get a job with a liberal arts degree!) and graduated Summa Cum Laude from St. Paul's School in Concord, NH in 1999. I am also on the Young Executive Board of CampInteractive, a non-profit bridging the digital and leadership divide, based in Bronx, NY. Besides that I am currently an advisor to PinkDingo and an informal advisor to a number of Bay Area and NYC area entrepreneurs. Twitter: @tomloverro
