Elliot Krasnow has often been called a serial entrepreneur. He first discovered his passion for advertising and the media in the 1970's while working on Madison Avenue in New York as an award winning TV commercial producer. After working with many directors and major brands at all the well known advertising agencies, he formed and capitalized his first company, Palomino Productions, Inc., for the purpose of producing television pilots and, later, feature films both in New York and in Los Angeles. Mr. Krasnow maintained residences in both cities until 1979, when he moved to Miami, Florida, where, after a stint with a Fortune 1000 company, and NHP (National Hotel Properties), the Jamaican government tourism office in Ocho Rios, his interests for the next 10 years turned to financial services and, specifically, tangible assets. During all these years, he honed his skills in sales and marketing, eventually selling his businesses (CRCG, Supercels, Kennedy Arts Center) and followed one of his mentors in opening a national sales traing institute in Miami with David Sandler. After David Sandler's unexpected passing in 1994, Elliot sold that franchise and looked for his next career move. It was then that he first discovered the Internet. As a pioneer in the then hot Internet mall business (1995), Elliot Krasnow subsequently launched the Netspace concept serving SMB's, took the company public, and grew that Internet business to over 80 offices on two continents until the company was bought in 2006.
Recent projects include working with a New York based media company and Florida based web firm that had partnered in the development and launch of a proprietary Web 2.0 social networking site; and consulted on the purchase, development and marketing of a new Registrar focused specifically on the global travel and tourism industry. Currently working on book title http://www.gustdoit.com and incubating several projects that can be found at http://www.elliotkrasnow.net.
