Dave Taylor’s Summary
I have a track record of successful projects and products based on emerging and best practices in Virtual Worlds, Web 2.0, New Media, Software Products and 'Serious Games'.
I lead a new unit at Imperial College developing the use of Virtual Worlds for Healthcare. I previously set up and ran the UK National Physical Laboratory’s Virtual Worlds business area.
I am a founder of the SciLands, a Second Life continent for Science and Technology, that has grown from 5 islands in 2006 to over 65 in 2009 and have created many virtual world projects that deliver real world benefits.
Prior to Web 2.0 I was Vice President of Global Web for a leading multinational. Before Web 1.0 I managed Letraset’s European Software business, working with Adobe Systems, Pixar and Apple Computer where I developed an award-winning graphics software product.
I have achieved success through vision and a pragmatic approach to getting the job done. I have strengths in team motivation, stakeholder engagement, project management and in applying my knowledge to provide innovative solutions that deliver improved customer service, effectiveness or efficiencies in accordance with business needs.
My goal is to continue to explore next generation networking technologies and their application to new sectors, services and markets.
