Socializing the market and celebrating the Lynchpin in John Galt. That line kind of summarises me and what I do today.

So why ?

Well for starters ;

I like the concept of John Galt. I hear even Travis Kalanick does. So did Ayn Rand.

I also like Linchpins. Just like Seth Godin.

Basically I like the concept of building things that change the status quo. It can be a website, an application, a video, a photograph, a blog, a marketing plan, an idea, a business case - anything that questions "why not" and whispers to the lizard brain "what if".

Today I work for LinkedIn. I lead their Digital and content marketing efforts out of Singapore.

Every day I come to work to understand why people network, how they consume and share content, how they learn new skills and how they build on their careers.

It is a fun job.

Prior to this I used to lead the Digital labs at IBM, and that was pretty fun too.

Ever seen how artificial intelligence can help websites communicate better with human beings ?

It's pretty rad and there were these amazing folks at the IBM labs who were doing all this cool stuff. Made every day an amazing opportunity.

So these days I try and see how I can help people discover content, how I can help them search a little better, a little faster. How I can help them experience content when they are on the go. How I can market to them at an individual level but with their permission.

Thanks for dropping by. Hit me up if you want to just chat and we can talk about Ragnar Danneskjold or Hank Rearden. Or maybe just football. I am a colossal supporter of FC Barcelona and I love traveling in Europe.
