Marc Coleman

I am a social entrepreneur interested in the creation & development of good smart networks through friendship and collaborative discovery. I am interested in connecting with people who have similar interests & ambitions. I grew up a country-boy spending most of my time on a stud farm, chucked off to boarding school for a few years, followed by +5yrs studing to be a scientist. More recently, a city slicker due to work, I have travelled extensively across Asia Pacific and Europe over the past 12 years. Fell into my 1st job at Microsoft HQ in Seattle. Worked for a number of big corps thereafter & held glorious job titles ;o) ranging from Director Asia-Pacific to Sports Marketeer. I have worked on 5 start-ups and advise a few more; HRN Europe, HR Tech Europe iRecruit, Oxygen Perspectives are my own most recent endeavours. I have lived in Ireland, England, US, Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand. I now live in Budapest, Hungary with my family. A proud native of the most beautiful part of Ireland - Lismore! When I escape my terra incognita aka WORK, I am happiest when I am with close family & friends, fly/sea fishing, sailing, horseracing, traveling to new places and investing in social initiatives, most especially disadvantaged children and the environment.
