Dear Ms. Richardson,

Based on my experience in working with emerging growth companies, I believe I may be an excellent candidate for many of your firm's searches. As Vice President and Controller of Qwest Internet Solutions, formerly Ibex CMT, a New York based Internet solutions provider, and as Chief Financial Officer of Electronic Retailing Systems, a manufacturer of cutting edge retailing technology, I have been successful in IPO situations and in raising financing in the public markets.

I was recruited by Icon prior to its IPO, with the challenge to grow and greatly strengthen the financial infrastructure to meet the demands of a publicly traded company, growing revenues at over 100% per year. Icon was acquired at the end of last year by Qwest Communications in Denver. As a result of the Qwest acquisition, and the transfer of corporate finance functions to Denver, I am now beginning an active search for new opportunities.
