Press Release from Pedal Faster Business Consulting
Chatsworth, CA, January 18, 2010 – “Pedal Faster Business Consulting” has been launched by Jeff Ross, a veteran Hollywood Visual Effects and Post Production Facilities executive. With over 35 years of experience, Mr. Ross is well versed in all aspects of senior management, including sales, marketing, finance, operations, and administration.
The new company will provide its services exclusively to Visual Effects and Post Production companies, and will offer its clients a diverse array of services, including Strategic Planning, Marketing and PR, Sales Management, Operational Evaluation, and Cost Tracking and Analysis.
Pedal Faster will also provide cost effective, temporary and ongoing consulting services, performing many functions that would otherwise require the expense of a full time position.
Regarding the launch of his new endeavor, Mr. Ross said, “As an avid cyclist, I’ve always thought of riding or racing a bike as a metaphor for business. Whether you are running a business or cycling, you have to constantly be going in a forward direction, and you need to build momentum. If you don’t, you will inevitably fall behind. So, I wanted a company name that related to cycling -- one that conjured up the image of never stopping, never letting up, and always moving forward -- thus ‘Pedal Faster.’”
