"Janine has that rare capacity to capture the hearts and minds of an audience filled with techies, sales folks and all the people in between.

Within minutes they are on the edge of their seats, captivated by a common vision of how they can work better together."

-- Carol, Ann Arbor, MI

As a young reporter in Northern California in the mid-1990s, Janine recognized early that the Internet would transform traditional media and set out to learn everything she could about this new way of communicating. She studied HTML, FTP, LOL, ROFLMAO and countless other acronyms.

Janine’s early Internet projects included helping a creative director in Sausalito to manage a quirky team of programmers in Siberia, designing a virtual scanning system in a simulated futuristic store for Levi Strauss, and building one of the first newspaper websites in the country for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Point Reyes Light.

In 1998, her experience as a journalist and Internet consultant, combined with her fluency in Spanish, took her to The Miami Herald, first as the Online Managing Editor and a year later as Director of New Media. She left that position to serve as Director of Latin American Operations for CNET Networks.

Janine has taught online journalism courses at the University of Miami and the University of Southern California. She's also been a guest lecturer at more than 20 other universities in the U.S. and Latin America, and she helped create an Internet Literacy program for high school students in Central America.

She is a member of the TV Academy's Interactive Media Peer Group and has served as a judge in the Interactive Emmy Awards, the Knight News Challenge, and the Arroba de Oro Latin American Internet Awards.

In recent years, her experience as an Internet strategist and media executive has taken her to Moscow, where she helped develop a strategic plan for one of Russia’s largest publishing companies; to New Delhi, where she was a featured speaker at Internet World India; to Colombia, where she spent two months traveling around the country to lead Internet seminars at 16 newspapers; and to Southern California, where she helps craft the online image of actors, executives, and businesses, and occasionally takes a break to run on the beach.
