Carter Holland: CMO, WeVideo
Golden and I overlapped at WeVideo for a few months when I was acting as Interim CMO. Golden is a perpetual optimist who not only always sees the glass as half full, but then works enthusiastically to fill it up the rest of the way. He works hard to identify promotional campaigns and engagement programs designed to increase share of voice across the social channels that matter most. Golden is also always willing to pitch in when all hands are needed on deck, even when the task may fall outside his direct area of responsibility. Oftentimes this a rare but an extremely invaluable quality. If you’re looking for a conscientious contributor who can help to increase your social media presence, don’t miss the opportunity to consider adding Golden to your team.
Viviana Talledo: Search Engine Marketing Manager, WeVideo
I worked with Golden to create our marketing plan for social media and SEO. Since the project kicked-off, we had great results bringing social media traffic to our website and blog. Golden is a fun person to work with. His enthusiasm and ability to work with many different teams made it easier to accomplish many projects.

I had the pleasure of working with Golden for the past 1.5 years. I really appreciated how Golden kept pushing our marketing projects forward and ensured to check in with me for feedback and guidance at the right moments. He managed to build important relationships internally and externally during an obviously challenging time. Golden would be an asset for anyone needing corporate content marketing and social media management.
Richard Fitzgibbon: Business Development Director, Arvato Supply Chain Solutions

Gene Filipi: President, San Francisco American Marketing Association (SFAMA)
I have had the privilege of working with Golden when he was Social Media Director at the SFAMA and he has also worked as a social media consultant for Kinesis Survey Technologies, where I am also Sales Director. I admire Golden’s passion for Social Media and he is a true leader in the Social Media space. He’s a team player, flexible and always dedicated to any project or job he works on.

Kemp Edmonds: Founding Solutions Consultant, Hootsuite
I had the opportunity to work with Golden in his role as Global President of Social Media Club, a large, diverse, non-profit organization. Golden was an organized leader who did an incredible job bringing together and synthesizing diverse voices and needs into a cohesive vision for the organization. Managing to motivate and engage an organization made Golden someone I consider a go to for leadership best practices and practical knowledge of how to be successful leading a diverse organization
Stephanie Werneke: Senior Associate, Capital One 360
Golden was an amazing Manager. Not only did he set me up with all of the tools and resources necessary to do my job well, he was an excellent resource for social media best practices. He really knows the landscape and I learned everything I know in regards to social media thanks to him. One of my favorite traits of Golden’s is that he is always positive and optimistic. It made for better problem solving within our projects. Overall, I would recommend Golden for any position that was in Social Media or Marketing management.
Carol Wyatt: HR Director, Carol H. Williams Advertising
Golden’s passion, determination and interest in advertising, marketing and promotional communications is not only admirable, but inspirational. Not many times in my career do I meet someone as unselfish, determined and interested in not only the industry itself, but also in meeting or exceeding expectations in the areas of self-knowledge, awareness and most importantly, helping others. Golden’s entrepreneurial spirit is the type of attitude that businesses source out in order to create model employees from. It’s generational and hierarchial type of growth and development business models that utilize individuals who think and behave like Golden that allows individuals to go from the entry-level account person to the President of the corporation. We would consider him for an opportunity at any time and I feel my HR colleagues who don’t lack awareness on how to identify a talented individual in the marketplace would feel the same.
Kathy Dykeman: Monetization Analytics, Facebook
