About Me
I'm trying my best to understand this thing called 'social' and how it is changing the way companies and customers communicate with each other. I am a Social Media / SCRM Consultant at Capgemini. Previously worked at Foviance, The Carphone Warehouse, Mars, Inc. While at The Carphone Warehouse I set up the use of social media within customer service. I've worked in the digital space since about 1997 and covered a variety of roles over the years.
Outside of work I run a couple of LinkedIn groups - 'Where Social Media Meets Customer Service' and 'Social Media Governance Forum' ; Adviser to Focus.com for Customer Service ; Founding Council Member of BestServiceOne.com, the customer service portal for CusotmerThink.com ; write a blog about social customer care - Beingguy1067.com ; tweet as @guy1067 ; and am lucky enough to be invited to speak at conferences and write articles for various publications.
