Member, Internet Advisory Committee
Presbyterian Church in Canada
(Religious Institutions industry)
February 2006 — August 2007 (1 year 7 months)
The Internet Advisory Committee was responsible for overseeing the vision and management of the denominational website, www.presbyterian.ca. I was asked to join the committee to bring the site into the new social web.
I guided the committee as it strived to connect with the denomination's members online. A key concept was that we are not trying to create an online community - we are providing a means for an existing offline community to communicate and grow online. -

I was responsible for building on the overall TrueLocal experience by developing new features and products across all of TrueLocal’s product lines. From idea and concept management right through to implementation, I was responsible for ensuring that TrueLocal's products and features are in place to provide the very best experience in local search.
I started at TrueLocal as a UI web developer and quickly moved up and over to the business side of things spending several months as Director, Strategic Partnerships before being given responsibility for TrueLocal's entire product line as Director, Product Development.
