Team GreenAdWorks

The Greenadworks team draws from over 50 years online development, marketing and advertising experience. We share a passion for green and healthy living.

Core Team Members:

	David Phillips, CEO David Phillips is a seasoned Internet executive having served for the last twelve years in senior executive positions with AOL Inc., AOL Europe (JV with Bertelsman), Napster, and IGN Entertainment (Fox Interactive Media). Most recently from June 2004 until May 2006, David served as Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy (and General Counsel) for IGN Entertainment Inc., a leading online digital entertainment network. As head of Corporate Strategy at IGN, Phillips helped manage the Company's highly successful Internet media roll-up and sale to News Corp/Fox in late 05. Philips founded Naturalpath Media (naturalpath.com and greenadworks.com) in 06 and has recruited a talented team of passionate professionals. Naturalpath.com is borne out of Phillips’ passion for finding trusted expert and community-filtered information about holistic and environmental health for his family. Phillips lives in Marin County with his wife (Mary, who is a contributor to naturalpath.com) and their three young children.
	Jim Van Huysse, EVP Product Marketing and Operations Jim is a pioneer in the Internet media space, having built Spinner.com, the first online radio service in 1996 (acquired by AOL), and provides over 12 years of executive leadership experience including both Fortune 50 and start-up environments, blending entrepreneurial drive and big company operational capabilities. At AOL he served as General Manager of the AOL Radio Network, managing operations, product and programming for the Internet's largest Radio network, launching seven distinct services and amassing a monthly audience of over 10 million unique visitors. Jim also served as president at Brondell, Inc., where he oversaw sales, marketing an corporate development for this high-tech home products company. He also helped with strategic initiatives at Oracle Corporation. Jim's interest in sustainability and wellness started with an ailing back: one that prompted him to try alternative therapies -- namely Chinese herbs and acupuncture -- rather than pop a pill. Since then Jim has dabbled in Reiki, purchased a hybrid, and is grateful for the chance to do his small part to help move the sustainability movement forward a little bit. When he's not recruiting publishers or marketing NaturalPath, Jim might be found on a hiking trail, a golf course or traveling.
	Beth Aubry, Director of Client Services Beth Aubry's extensive experience in online media, web marketing and design, coupled with her concern for a more sustainable world brought her to GreenAdWorks (and Naturalpath.com, where she still spends a portion of her time as Producer). In addition to holding positions in the web arena at Fox.com, The Walt Disney Company and Stanford University, she also greatly enhanced her management skills and entrepreneurial ambition at the Stanford Graduate School of Business where she managed an intensive course in Entrepreneurship. She holds a BA in Communication with a concentration in Graphic Design from the University of Southern California. When Beth is not tirelessly trying to improve the world's online marketing or sustainability problems, she can be found carving down the mountain on her snowboard or running on the streets of hilly San Francisco.
	Erin DeRuggiero, National Sales Director Erin joins the GreenAdWorks team with more than a decade of advertising sales, marketing and media partnerships experience. She spent nine years with the Utne Reader magazine, as their National Advertising Director, overseeing print and online sales and developing new media and content for the web. Armed with a passion for music and environmental action, Erin has also worked with clients such as Crocs and Clif Bar, along with musicians Xavier Rudd, John Butler Trio and Jack Johnson, to secure sponsorships for national green music tours and events. When she’s able to put the Blackberry down, Erin is a self-confessed media junkie with a soft spot for bad reality TV, Annie’s Mac and Cheese and any award show that features a red carpet countdown.
	Rachel Nichols, Senior Account Executive Rachel Nichols has finally found a way to combine her six years of digital advertising sales experience with her passion for holistic living and sustainability. Rachel started her career in media sales at IDG in 2001 where she tried to become a tech geek at IDG.net, then a Macintosh expert at Macworld.com in 2002. In 2005, she subsequently attempted to become a video game junkie at GamePro.com where she was responsible for growing and managing an East Coast advertising revenue goal. She then set her sights on Time, Inc. where she became immersed in the world of celebrity gossip as the New York Digital Account Manager delivering advertising revenue in 2007 for People Magazine's newly formed digital property People.com and Entertainment Weekly Magazine's EW.com. After many yoga classes spent quietly reflecting, she realized that Britney Spears just wasn't that interesting. At long last, she found her way to the door of GreenAdWorks where she's thrilled to be selling a network of sites with a mission she believes in. When she's not focused on growing advertising revenue, Rachel continues to follow her passion in health and wellness, pursuing a certificate in Health Counseling through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in New York City, in Partnership with Teachers College Columbia University. Rachel also holds a BA in English Literature from Skidmore College.
	Nick D'Amato, Engineer/Magician Nick has been developing computer software for most of his life. Some of his software is currently being used in schools throughout Australia to help teach speech and language skills. In the age of the Web, Nick has learned to appreciate the importance of the Internet and how extremely useful it has become for communication and education. He has a passion for developing tools to help users maximize the web’s potential.
	Christine Dickson, Senior Account Executive Christine has been active in the sales industry for the last 15 years. She started working with Go2Net in 1998 when it was still a start up and then continued with the company as Senior Sales Manager when it was acquired by Infospace. In 2004 she took a break to dabble in real estate. Even though she loves real estate, she missed the Internet culture and was excited when GreenAdWorks invited her to be a part of their team. When she’s not finding advertisers for GreenAdWorks' publishers, she is busy with her four children. Since she is a mom she believes strongly in the importance of preserving and improving the environment for the future of our kids. She is excited to be a part of the team at GreenAdWorks and working with web sites dedicated to making ourselves and our planet healthier and happier.
