I invite you to check my biography and my list of public speaking engagements since 2007: http://bit.ly/VBSpeaking
Prior to my recent Senior Innovation Manager role at Lloyds TSB, one of the major UK banks, I worked in business development, in both telecommunications and banking. In these roles I helped drive significant new business in both the payments straight through processing, and anti-money laundering space.
I am an active blogger and business networker. My main blog, Visible-Banking.com, is one of the leading banking blogs on the internet today. I am an experienced presenter, thought leader, and advocate for Web 2.0, and I am regularly requested speaker at conferences.
In late 2008, I founded Visible Media Ltd to help financial institutions all over the world to better understand and leverage social media.
Since August 09, in addition to my responsibilities at Visible Banking, I have been helping FinRoad to reach their growth targets and establish themselves as The Premier online community for financial markets professionals worldwide.
