B2C Travel Media, eCommerce and Technology
Specialising in media, eCommerce and technology for the travel industry
I have been working in eCommerce, travel and technology since 1995 and an experienced launcher of many products and eCommerce services.
In 2008 I founded 8media - an Internet Media Investment and Consultancy Company.
You can see a comprehensive profile on LinkedIn.
Internet Media Company - Investment and Consultancy
8media is a business which aims to seek out and invest in and grow high growth consumer services. The investment isn't just money I also aim to use my experience to help grow businesses.
The internet is continuously enabling new ideas to be tested out and there are many people at the stage where they have a working concept and need help in getting it off the ground. With 8media I aim to help just a few companies and hopefully make it big.
Active Life!
I like challenges and over the years done a few. I am into cycling and running, preferably the longer and steeper the better. Below are some of the highlights from the last few years.
