I’ve been involved in sales, marketing and running software companies
since computers had black screens with the ‘wide choice’ of green or
orange text. Those were the days…
When I’m not speaking, writing or reading about marketing technology,
sales force automation, web tools and awesome processes you’ll find me
helping to make VB
Insight the best analysis and reports resource on the planet – one
where every expert can finally have their words read and their voices
heard. If you’re a subject-matter champion in any area of sales or
marketing technology, you should probably let
me know.
I live in the UK, follow football (that’s soccer, not ‘throwball’),
Formula 1, ice hockey, and play video games. I respect and subscribe to
the VentureBeat statement
of ethics. I drink coffee, yerba mate, white tea and water as
if I’m getting paid to do so (I’m not). In my spare time, I run a few
multi-author blogs that give all the revenue they generate to worthy
causes. When they produce a wireless Internet connection that plugs
directly into the medulla oblongata, I’ll be first in line.
