Kees Romkes’s Summary

Who am I ? That entrepeneur that is very deep into social media, web2.0 and beyond, concepting using new technologies and creating opportunities to apply it. I've anchored myself into the "groundswell" of the new connected world.

I am a free agent, living in a networked world, interconnecting, creating bridges between people and technology. Striving to be exceptional in every possibility.

My mission :

Reastablishing the human touch in organisations and society, allowing people to communicate open and freely, leading to a new world of interconectiveness. Starting by just letting people listen to eachother again.

Eager to learn, about technology and the human factor involved. Intrigued by usage of technology and how people evolve and adjust.

What's my ultimate goal ? Connected Experience creation. Merging online with offline, facilitating human potential with social technology, designing a vision and spreading that vision in the products, people and companies I'm involved with !

That's what I'm all about, having that birds eye view, judging technology, gathering enthusiasm in the people around me, sharing knowledge offline and online, through blogs,twitter and face2face contact.

Kees Romkes’s Specialties:

social media, building communities, thinking in technically interesting ideas and possibilities, sharing knowledge, activating people
