I started out in business development with one of the largest manufacturers of sterling silver in the United States. My clients were Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, Roses, Service Merchandise, Home Shopping Network, QVC, and others. I became their youngest Vice President and some time later ended up sitting on their board until charting a course for their eventual acquisition by a competitor around 2003.

After that experience, I was the Vice President of Business Development for the company that brought out Python 2.0. We hired the guys who created the Python programming language (what Google was written in), and enhanced the evolution and adoption of the Python language, as well as freed it from its restrictive licensing.

Aside from Google, I also dealt with Lucent Technologies (then still closely related to AT&T), SGI, Sun Microsystems, Infoseek, VA Linux, Red Hat, IBM, Disney, Yahoo!, and others while performing my duties with the company.

During those times and afterward, I contracted or worked as an employee for a number of companies in the industry, which are listed on my resume and/or cover sheet. I have architected a number of technologies which are used today in the industry and beyond, and continue to assist in the development of related toolsets.

If you're asking from a technological perspective what languages I speak, I'd tell you that I speak PHP, Python, HTML, CSS, Perl, JavaScript, AJAX, and a number of others. I am comfortable in FreeBSD, Linux, and Windows environments.

If, on the third hand, I didn't actually answer your question, let me know .. LOL!
