About Me

Purely online since 1997 - ouff. Worked in many internet companies in many roles but with a focus on creating and optimising great customer experiences, then marketing and growing them. I'm full of wild, good ideas but tempered by years of getting my hands dirty and seeing what works (and intuitively knowing what doesn't). Yes, I'm a product manager who understands customers, technology and marketing. And crop rotation. (And spreadsheets, but don't tell).

NPD, Strategy, User experience, Customer engagement, web 2.0, online reputation and karma, social media, metrics, branding, PR, complex user targeting, retention, online marketing, SEO, SEM, affiliate marketing, email marketing, business planning, process development, creative development, data protection, business law, research, media sales, database development, you name it...
