From Vice President of Corporate Communications at Microsoft toexecutive tenures with General Mills, Nestle, and Neutrogena, Mr. Hanson has developed and led successful marketing strategies in a wide range of industries. As CEO of the consulting firm, The HMC Company, he has assisted everything from emerging to Fortune 500 companies in maximizing revenue, profitability, and perceived investment value thru global business development and strategic brand building.

It takes keen insight like his and a strong vision for future growth to compete in our marketplace these days, and Mr. Hanson has consistently demonstrated the leadership and wisdom that can take us to new heights.", stated Michael Ferraro, Co-Chairman and founder of Preferred Commerce.

Preceding some of his most recent achievements, he had been recognized throughout the world for developing and executing the branding strategy which ultimately helped catapult Microsoft's business in the 80s and early 90s with the introduction of its flagship software which he named "Windows." Published in numerous books on the history of Microsoft, there are several references to strategies he developed and executed that ultimately led to Microsoft and Windows brand's industry dominance. Today Mr Hanson continues serving Microsoft though its Alumni Network & Foundation, where he is a board member & trustee; a Foundation that has been the catalyst for the formation of numerous non-profits around the world.

During his tenure as Vice President of Worldwide Marketing for Neutrogena, he collaborated and strategized directly with the Company's founder on new products and a global expansion strategy designed to bolster worldwide brand recognition. This ultimately led to the company being sold to Johnson & Johnson for ~$1 Billion.

Mr. Hanson has also consulted to other well-known companies such as Monsanto, IBM, and Nautilus Group, which is where he participated in the branding of what became the leader in home exercise equipment, Bowflex. Based on the strength of the Bowflex business, the Nautilus Group, where he served on the Company's Board of Directors, acquired complementary exercise equipment brands including Schwinn Fitness and StairMaster.
