Gino Coutu was Vice-President, Business Development at Rogers Digital Media until May 2011.
Gino joined Rogers in September 2010, as part of Rogers take-over of BV! Media, where he was President and Co-CEO since 2005. Under his tenure, Gino lead BV! Media to grow yearly sales from a $1M to $17M by building the largest Canadian online fully
bilingual ad network, reaching over 16 million unique visitors monthly on a network of over 500 websites in exclusive representation. BV! Media was also recently ranked in Profit-100 as one of the fastest growing company in Canada. In September 2010, BV! Media announced that it was acquired by Rogers Media for $25 Million in cash.
Gino has also held senior executive positions at Zero-Knowledge Systems (now RadialPoint), where he led worldwide sales and business development efforts. Under his 3-year tenure, Gino formulated and was the key driving force behind RadialPoint's new go-to-market strategy, introducing a new "service provider" distribution model for SME security solutions, which catapulted yearly sales from $200K to $15M. In the process, Gino also helped establish RadialPoint as the leading consumer security solution vendor to service providers, closing major ISP's such as Bell Canada, Telus, Videotron, France Telecom, and Adelphia.
Prior to RadialPoint, Gino led the Service Provider sales, support and engineering team at Cisco Systems where he grew revenue from $10M to $60M while increasing customer satisfaction, and has held other influential sales and management positions at Nortel Networks, Ungermann-Bass and 3Com.
Gino is now enjoying a 1-year sabbatical where he'll be traveling and improving his golf game, and will be looking at new opportunities in early 2012!
