Info
- Head of Bizcrowd at Royal Bank of ScotlandMarketing and Advertising | Reading, United Kingdom, GBSummary
Seasoned entrepreneur with proven startup track record and deep experience effecting transformational change within large enterprises.
I typically work in an innovation or advisory role, often in the IT department, helping the company's teams understand online communities, technology, identify opportunities and exploit them for business benefit.
I have a deep background in technology. I've found it incredibly useful to be able to observe a problem and then physically code a system to address the issue. This has been hugely valuable for rapid prototyping. It's especially useful helping non-tech people understand the possibilities of technology.
I'm founder and editor of Mobile Industry Review. The site reaches approximately 250,000 senior executives and mobile fanatics. I'm able to garner unique insight and unparalleled access to the people and technologies changing the mobile world. In my capacity as a consultant and advisor, my clients can be assured of the best possible viewpoints.

- Jan 2006 - PresentFounder & Editor / Mobile Industry Review

- Jul 2010 - May 2013Global Head of Digital Innovation / Reed Exhibitions
Leading the technology innovation function, responsible for researching, developing, proving and deploying technology related services for commercial benefit (revenue, efficiency or goodwill).
Helping event teams learn how to harness technology and a content-lead approach to evolve substantial knowledge and actionable data from the communities they serve.
Charged with exploring ways in which to significantly extend the inherent value of the company's brands beyond the standard event week -- Decision Makers TV (see Projects below) is one recent project example.
Examining everything from mobile technology to social media, rapid prototyping, content creation and management, team collaboration, off-site working and live event production.
- Sept 2003 - Sept 2010Co-Founder / Eventscope
Provides Eventscope Online Networking services to conference and event companies.
I established this company to address a key problem I'd always come across at events: Finding the right people to meet, easily and effectively.
Event organisers rarely want to part with their contact list -- this is viewed as business confidential. However as a paying attendee I had an expectation that I should be able to at least see who was attending and perhaps send them a message prior, during or after the event.
I worked out a process that enables the event organiser to retain the control the need over their data, whilst enabling attendees to view key portions of the data (Firstname, Lastname, Company name, Job title). Further, if you found someone you wanted to connect with, you could use a form to immediately send them a message.
Event organisers loved it. Eventscope has since provided networking facilities for thousands of events.
- Apr 2008 - Mar 2009Head of Technology Innovation / First Data Corporation
Reporting to the CIO; Responsible for providing and promoting technology innovation, rapid application development and mobile technology services to the business.
- Jan 1998 - Jun 2007Founder & Chief Executive / Neo One
I founded this startup to provide interactive services for large brands stepping on to the internet for the first time.
I developed a wide range of services including internet community management, moderation, content control and text messaging systems.
I also established Neo One as the UK's first interactive community consulting practice, advising a number of top online brands, legal firms and media companies.
At it's peak the company was the leading provider of moderation and content control services in the United Kingdom, working with the likes of Teletext, Flextech, BSkyB and Disney.
- Jan 1999 - Sept 2003Co-Founder & CTO / Liv4now.com
Raised $1m in 1999 to establish a daily entertainment online community and magazine aimed at the UK's 18-25s. I hired an editorial team from some of the best publications around and worked with them to craft a fantastic, ground-breaking online community offering.
Ultimately, this was a proof-of-concept demonstration for the clients of the company's B2B division (Neo One).
I was initially CTO and head of the community services consulting practice before assuming control of the wider company as CEO.
