I am the Chief Inventor of Native, the market-shaking merger between Cambrient, Stonewall+ and Brandsh. I am also a novelist living in Johannesburg, South Africa.

I founded one of SA's first web companies in 1995, and thereafter founded and was one of the directors of VWV Interactive until 2000. After that I founded Cambrient.

Other things I'm involved with:

Blogging....
I am a fairly regular blogger on Thought Leader, where my column Burningpaper is known to raise the odd death threat. I also contribute to Memeburn.

Digital Industry...
I am the current Deputy Chair of the Digital Media and Marketing Association (DMMA).
I was on The Bookmarks organising committee for 2010/2011, helping to define the awards structure and process, as well as overseeing the development of the judging system. And, no doubt, I will be back for more in 2012.

Podcasting...
I am the commissioning editor of The Digital Edge, a Gold Bookmark winner.

I have been around long enough to be considered an old Internet hack, but regardless am still figuring stuff out.
