David Morgan / Mediahit / VP of Consumer Finance Group I am the Vice President of the Consumer Finance Group at Mediahit. I oversee our Mortgage and Debt Settlement lead generation businesses, coordinating the efforts of our Product, Engineering, Legal, Creative, Sales and Business Development teams, all focused on the goal of being the most trusted internet lead source. It is a privilege to work with a great group of intelligent, talented, motivated and just pain smart individuals on a daily basis. Before coming to Mediahit, I worked in business development for search marketing firm Reprise Media, now an IPG company. I was born in London, went to high school in Ridgewood, NJ and received my Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from the University of Vermont. Where were you born? London, England Where were you raised? England until 10, then Ridgewood, New Jersey Who do you think had the most influence on your life and why? My father- he was a tremendous role model, an innovative business man and an inspiring dad. He taught me many of the key lessons of my life, instilled in me a great respect for people, a strong family bond and a fierce competitive spirit. The aforementioned person, is their influence used/applied at NextInternet? Everyday, I try to focus on one of the key business lessons that I learned from my father: ” It is important to be able to identify the problems, but it is far more valuable to be able to identify the solutions”. Being able to analyze challenges and to find opportunities is something that I try to do everyday. What part of your upbringing or life experiences led you to working at a Start-up? Getting my hands “dirty” and doing the hard work that needs to be done is something I learned early on in my life. That is one of the most important things at a start up. A start up gives you the opportunity to have a lot more impact on the business everyday and is a lot more exciting than a larger company, but in order to be successful everyone has to do some “heavy lifting”. What do you like about working at a start-up/NextInternet?
If you had to describe your day to day in the office in 3 sentences how would you?
What valuable lessons have learned in working at NextInternet?
If you had to tell a new employee of NextInternet what to expect in their first two weeks what would it be?
What types of companies have you worked with before? (small, large, etc.) Mostly smaller start ups In your own words: Some people thrive on challenges and the chances to do something that can have a huge impact. That is the way that NextInternet makes me feel. Everyday the whole team is pushing on what is possible and unlocking opportunities to expand the reach and depth of the entire business. Each person working hard and the chance to leverage the groups collective talent makes this an extremely fast paced and rapidly evolving environment that is fun and exciting to work in. If you are not getting inspired to excel and innovate then you may not be awake!
