About
I am an independent consultant, drawing on a number of overlapping skills and experiences to help companies achieve their goals in the areas of:
- Platform & API strategy
- Social media and the social graph,
- Web2.0 projects in the enterprise,
- Grassroots media/blogging and online media in general
- Disruptive technologies
- Community-orientated strategy
My current clients include MySpace (I advise them with their platform strategy, including Google OpenSocial) and video-conversation start-up Seesmic (who I help in various areas of product development and strategy).
I have previously consulted for Orange France Telecom, working on product development and platform strategy, and before that I was briefly a partner and consultant with Citizen Agency LLC.
Before moving to America I worked at the BBC in London, UK for six years.
I spent four and a half years at the BBC News Website as a web developer and then software engineer. I also did some product development work there too in areas including mobile, interactive TV and feed syndication.
I then spent 18 months in the BBC’s central New Media & Technology division (which nowadays goes by the name Future Media and Technology). I was one of the people responsible for launching the BBC’s developer network backstage.bbc.co.uk and I also advised the BBC on the launch of their blog network (among other projects).
