Seattle, WA (PRWEB) January 19, 2011 -- vcfo, a leading professional services firm offering financial, recruiting, and human resources solutions, today announced they have added a new leader to their executive team. Blaine Millet has come onboard in a newly created role, Vice President of Client Engagement. vcfo takes pride in always trying to stay a step ahead and provide fresh and innovative ways to help clients succeed. With the addition of Blaine, vcfo continues this focus by adding a leading edge role to the executive team, completely focused on providing added value to clients.

Blaine’s role will use Social Media to add a new form of engagement for the organization. He will create a unique integration between Social Media and traditional Business Development and Marketing efforts; one that will provide vcfo clients and partners with a deeper connection and access to significantly more information and shared experiences. While Blaine is located in vcfo’s Seattle office, his role is company wide and will provide more content and information to all of vcfo’s clients nationwide.

“Blaine is an ideal leader for us at this point in time as we continue our expansion,” says Ellen Wood, vcfo CEO. “Many of our clients come to us after talking with a friend or advisor who has worked with us before to address similar issues. Using Social Media will enable us to better showcase and share stories from our clients’ experiences as well as from industry thought leaders. This in turn will help many others avoid mistakes made, learn from their peers, and benefit from successes as they grow their own companies. Never before have we had a vehicle to easily share these real life business cases in such a helpful way to our audience. Blaine is making this happen at vcfo.”

vcfo’s commitment is to deliver outstanding service, meeting and exceeding client objectives for each and every client. Most of our relationships are long-term in nature, providing strategic leadership and oversight as well as the execution team as needed to support our client’s success. Blaine’s focus on Social Media as a new and exciting tool within our firm will help vcfo deliver even more content and value to our clients.

“We are fortunate to have such a strong leader in this area on our team. This addition is a significant catalyst for accelerated growth and service to our clients,” said Earl Bell, Managing Director of vcfo Washington. Blaine also offered a perspective on his new role when he said, “I am very excited to work with such a great group of talented people and bring social media into the organization. This is a great opportunity to utilize the new media to tell stories from their clients and ultimately help many other leaders and organizations to be successful.”

By way of background, Blaine is a recognized Social Media Strategist and Expert and is best known for helping businesses understand and integrate a WEB 3.0 approach to drive more sales, stronger customer relationships and significant market differentiation by leveraging their most valuable customer asset – word-of-mouth and advocacy.

Blaine started his career with IBM after graduating with his MBA in Marketing and Finance from the University of Utah. He has had the opportunity to work in organizations from “start-up” through the Fortune 100, including 8 years with Andersen as part of the “Big-5”. His experience has encompassed dot.com startups, IBM, Andersen, Grant Thornton, Sprint and his own consulting firm. He also had the opportunity of managing a Search Firm in the Pacific Northwest that focused on technology and accounting/finance industries. He is the author of two books; “Creating and Delivering Totally Awesome Customer Experiences”, and “Business Tools – An Executives View of Social Media”. His focus has always been on helping businesses increase sales, build differentiation, and create unsurpassed customer loyalty to position them as leaders in their industry.
