Previously, Goldman founded Connectual, a digital marketing consulting and matchmaking firm. For two years, he helped companies like Omnicom Media Group, Info.com, Adify Media and Elevate Studios with marketing, business development and recruiting.

Before starting Connectual, Goldman served as Vice President of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships at Resolution Media. During his five-year tenure on the executive team, Goldman managed corporate marketing, industry relations and new business development, working with advertisers like Bank of America and Dell while sitting on the advisory boards of Google, Yahoo and Microsoft.

For about 5 years, Goldman delivered comprehensive digital marketing solutions encompassing portal and network campaigns, sponsorships, e-mail marketing and search engine marketing for clients including Disney, General Motors, Procter & Gamble and Verizon, among others. More than anything, he sold a lot of pop-ups. Sorry!
Goldman graduated with honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Science degree in Advertising. When he’s not Googling himself, Goldman is running around Chicago with his wife, Lisa, daughter, Eliara, and twins, Ethan and Mila.
