Capital Entrepreneurs member Thomas Carmona, CEO of City Dictionary, was featured by In Business Magazine as the Executive of the Week. From the interview:
How long have you been involved with City Dictionary and how would you describe your present role at the company?
I have been working on City Dictionary ever since late 2007 when I was developing the idea with my brother and my sister-in-law. At that point it was difficult to progress quickly because I was starting a full-time MBA program and my partners were already running a rapidly-growing e-commerce business of their own. Now my main role is to promote the Web site and pursue strategic partnerships with other media companies that operate in the local landscape. Meanwhile, I have gained a lot of insight from observing and working with my brother, John. He is an accomplished entrepreneur with a knack for knowing what works and what doesn’t. Some of that has rubbed off on me. (I hope.)
