Ian Lamont’s Summary

The advent of the Internet and other digital technologies have created some amazing opportunities in the media industry. In the coming years, I intend to leverage my own experience and insights to help drive the next wave of innovation and transformation.

Ian Lamont’s Specialties:

As managing editor of The Industry Standard, I have to stay on top of business and technology issues. I am a heavy user of online media and am always on the lookout for new tools that can help me do my job and potentially give my employer a marketplace advantage. Over the course of my career, I have not only striven to be a standout editor and media manager, but have also developed a reputation as someone who can work with small teams to come up with creative ideas and strategies.

Ian Lamont’s Experience

• Managing Editor

  The Industry Standard

  (Privately Held; Publishing industry)

  January 2008 — Present (1 year 7 months)

  I oversee The Industry Standard's editorial content and prediction market. I assign and edit articles and blog posts, update thestandard.com, create e-newsletters, and promote content elsewhere on the Web. I work with management, developers and partners to improve the site, create new services for readers, and devise strategies that set The Industry Standard apart from other publishers. Under my direction, the Standard won three SABEW awards and attracted millions of editorial page views in its first year as an online-only publication.
