Jon Mell’s Summary

Eight years experience in sales and management within the Internet industry from early commercial transactional websites through to the latest trends in Web 2.0. Recently focusing on the cultural and behavioural impact of such tools rather than the technology.

A seasoned presenter, comfortable in front of business and technical audiences, as well as working with small privately owned companies and the largest corporates.
