Dave Ingram’s Summary

I’m an internet product strategist with hands on experience in e-commerce, social media, web 2.0, UGC and viral & buzz marketing. I have experienced fast growing startups to multinational corporations, through the full lifecycle of product strategy and development; from the breakthrough innovations, strategy development, product development and delivery, user acquisition, to tracking user behaviors and ongoing strategy development.

I live in a converted cowshed in Longstock in the heart of the Test Valley, UK, with my wife Roshi and our two dogs Hudson and Charlie. In my spare time I snowboard and wakeboard, with a bit of gym work thrown in for good measure.
