  Christopher Dawes
 
Professional/Personal Overview
  I am a producer, director, actor, editor, and production coordinator, but I also have 20 years of corporate product management experience and Im even a certified Six Sigma Green Belt. What that means is that I have a creative eye with a business focus. I hit my sweet spot when I can combine my creative and business skills to not only create a compelling product (be that a film or a B2B e-Commerce website), but also the business model to promote it and make it profitable.
