A self-proclaimed geek, I have been involved in the IT industry since 1984, working for Apple the year the Macintosh was launched. Since then I have been responsible for teams of up to 40 people, managed a number of online communities, and worked on the creation of digital projects for national and multi-national corporations.
Recent projects I have been involved with include developing wearable technology for a national media company, creating loyalty programs for national retailers, migrating a car manufacturer to a new online platform for web and email deployment, scoping a “Content Darwinism” lead-generating site for a global financial company, and an integrated ecommerce experience for a theme park.
I am keenly taking part in the revolution that the convergence of devices and the rise of social media are creating in the fields of communication and collaboration for both personal and business connections.
