As the CRO and founder of Edison Interactive, a customer-experience technology company thats taking digital media, Internet of Things, Digital Out-of-Home and data to another level, Stanitz-Harpers infectious positive attitude has led the company to continue making a positive impact across all industries, including hospitality, travel and fitness, golf and rental cars.
Stanitz-Harper began this quest at 25 when he founded All Digital Circulation, followed by Sticky Media and later, Edison Interactive in 2016. Under his leadership Edison Interactive has set a precedence of whats to come within the industry in the next five years.
We kicked off 2019 announcing the minority interest investment from internationally renowned Great White Shark Greg Norman and business partner David Chessler, said Stanitz-Harper. The partnership included $10.7 million in total funding.
In addition to this current partnership, the growth of the business is attributed to Stanitz-Harpers ability to cultivate strong relationships with industry giants. Since the launch of Edison Interactive, the company has grown 100% in revenue year after year and has tripled their headcount, leading to an expansion at the Denver headquarters.
Failure is not an option for Stanitz-Harper. The greatest failure is not to try, he said.
His entrepreneurial spirit and inspiration as a leader has allowed Edison Interactive to forge partnerships with companies such as MGM, iHeartRadio, Verizon, Shark Experience and Avis Budget Group.
His success stems from a philosophy that inspiration is fostered and encouraged. I want to create an environment where I inspire and Im inspired by others, he said. I believe that the most valuable asset is your people.
