PORTLAND, ME, Dec. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With an impressive track record of marketing “wins” for some of the world’s most revered brands, Dave Mathews is the perfect addition to Chief Outsiders, the nation's leading "Executive as a Service" organization comprised of Chief Marketing Officers available on a fractional or interim basis.
As a Chief Outsider, Mathews will work directly with mid-market and Fortune 500 organizations to improve their go-to-market performance, particularly in the areas of digital marketing and ecommerce. He joins more than 60 other Chief Outsiders CMOs who are available on-demand to companies throughout the U.S.
Mathews joins Chief Outsiders on the heels of a lauded and successful career leading direct marketing organizations in the retail, consumer goods and technology industries.

During his tenure, Mathews oversaw the rapid expansion of Fire Dog, the highly profitable services business that competed with Best Buy’s Geek Squad.
