Jason Kitcat’s Experience
-
Head of Technology
Netmums Ltd.
(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Online Media industry)
March 2008 — Present (3 months)
Netmums is a family of local websites set up and run by mums (hence the name, but of course dads and anyone involved in caring for young children are welcome too!).
Each local website is edited and maintained by a local mum with support from our central team. The uniqueness of the Netmums concept stems from the belief that only other local mothers can truly access and provide the local information essential to life as a mum to young children in each specific area.
Each local Netmums website covers local information on places to go, things to do, education, childcare, and community, social and employment issues. -
