hmmm... 8+ years of e-commerce experience - that would be Nov. of 1996

"Under the rules of the National Science Foundation, commercial activity on the Internet was technically forbidden until the spring of 1995," - from http://news.com.com/E-commerce+turns+10/2100-1023_3-5304683.html?tag=nefd.lede

I'm guessing there are probably between 20-100 people on the planet with 8 years of e-commerce experience and only about 5-15 with 8+ years.

How does 8+ year of e-commerce experience, an MBA & Search Engine Marketing Experience help you to do these things:

This individual will impact the organization through:
1. Increasing awareness of product lines online.
2. Increasing new customers by reaching new markets.
3. Developing pre-approved sales contingency plans that can be implemented quickly.
4. Increasing 1-800-FLOWERS.COM presence in the SEM community and press as experts.
5. Sharing lessons learned with other brands’ marketing teams to optimize performance.

Sorry, I guess my biases are showing through ;)
