As Founder and CEO of efelle media, Fred is charged with keeping the company pushing forward, from business development to 'project evangelism' to rolling up his sleeves for the hands-on work that goes along with day to day operations.

Fred's vast work experience brings together a balance of both business and technology: before starting efelle media, he worked for several years as a product management specialist, and later an account executive of a large, nationwide supply and distribution company. Following his passion for technology, Fred made the move to the InfoTech sector as part of a multi-national Fortune 100 company, where he lead multiple enterprise software implementation and roll-out efforts to locations spanning several countries.

It was Fred's experience as both a client and a producer in the end-user 'technology world' that inspired him to build a media firm that offers the industry's highest level of personalized support while demystifying technology for small and medium sized businesses.

Realizing that many businesses didn't know where to start in terms of taking and marketing their business online, Fred went to work on designing the framework that would put technology to work for business owners who had yet to embrace the New Media. To this end, efelle media offers a number of services and products designed to help make business more profitable: while specializing in digital media via Web Site Design and Development, efelle media has also designed and developed several feature rich programs built with the business owner in mind; from our complete efelle CMS Web Site Content Management System (CMS) solutions, which allow people with limited computer knowledge to maintain and update their web sites, to a complete set of proven, industry-specific business tools known as the Business CM Suites, which offer a perfect blend of business management applications working together for the first time.

As efelle media's VP and Chief Technology Officer, Corné brings the very best of Dutch ingenuity to the company, with a flair of creativity and problem solving. Hailing from the Netherlands, he has more than 12 years of hands-on project management to compliment his web site development and back-end design experience -always taking a creative approach to his work.

Corné has built countless web sites and custom applications, including web-based data gathering systems and full-blown business systems. He has also helped nonprofit organizations build searchable database systems to share grant information with the public. He is also multi-lingual: he speaks Dutch, German, French and English as well as HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, CSS and Macromedia Flash, as well as ASP, PHP and SQL. He is a troubleshooting master, keeping a critical eye on cross-browser compatibility issues and ensuring quality throughout our organization's development processes.

Corné has been the chief architect of most of efelle media's product offerings to date, always ensuring the highest level of quality in development by leding the teams by example.

In addition to his work with efelle media, Corné teaches web development classes at Seattle's School of Visual Concepts. He believes in developing complete solutions for our clients, and takes care to manage all phases of a project -from conception and design to implementing the front-end, building the ASP or PHP middle layer and creating and maintaining the database utilized by the system.
