  (Public Company; Myself Only; Internet industry)

  September 1982 — January 2004 (21 years 5 months)

  I've worked in technology since I was the precocious writer of several successful technical computer books in the 1982/3. My background is as a programmer, later thinking of myself more as a software designer and manager as I started to lead teams to build the software products I conceived.
  
  Over the last few years I've worked as Head of E-Commerce at Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, as they then were, a biggish European investment bank, and as Chief Technology Officer at a couple of VC-funded internet start-ups.
