With six startups, three successful IPOs and two mergers under his belt, there's no denying Brian Gillings is a seasoned business consultant. Besides that, he's a heck of a nice guy.

He worked as a design engineer in the computing, broadcast TV and transient analysis industries. Since moving to Silicon Valley in '79, Brian has been involved as a senior executive with leading high-tech and semiconductor companies.
In 2001 Brian started a business consulting service – helping businesses create solid strategic plans as well as positioning start-ups for angel and series A funding, and early stage companies for series B and C funding.
Brian's key strengths are in marketing, sales, technical support, strategic alliances, product development, strategic and tactical planning. His proven team building, managerial, and functional skills, coupled with a strategic perspective and business sense, enables Brian to lead businesses towards long-term growth and profitability.

Thanks for the use of the conference room yesterday and thanks for your role in putting Brian and Sierra Commons together. We received invaluable information yesterday, and it moves us a big step closer towards getting Expinions.com off the ground. It was sort of a graduate level course in marketing/strategy/technology/psychology/legalities/etc. Anyone who is considering launching a start up in this area would be very well served by talking with Brian. Put another way, it would be foolish not to talk with Brian. Plus, he's a good guy, so it was quite enjoyable as well. Best, Jim Burnett, CEO Expinions.com
