Charles Cox’s Summary

My passion is professional. I have programmed games and tools, written stories, specs, tutorials and briefs, developed and presented educational workshops, and organized and managed dozens of projects in the software development space.

My goals are to develop and maintain world-class personal and project management skills, and apply my vision for the future in a senior leadership capacity in the software and technology product ecosystems.

I believe in mobility, convergence, and globalization. I am interested in new and emerging markets, smart mobs, and viral advertising.
