Steve Dietrich’s Summary

I am involved in all the day-to-day functions of publishing a national business magazine. This includes everthing from finance to business development, distribution alliances, design supervision, content reviews, advertising and making a mean pot of coffee. I am immersed in the field of business innovations and how technology can enhance your business. My continuous research and development of strong relationships in the publishing space as well as technology industry have given me a powerful set of advisors and talent upon which to draw -- and I'm always looking for more.
