Kevin Leversee’s Summary

“Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the DESIRE for that work has been put in every heart.”-Rumi

I Currently hold two positions one as Co-Founder at ManageSocial a Social Media Services Company, the other (which is a passion of mine) as Co-Founder of Manifest IT, a non-profit organisation that seeks to enable individuals to reach their full potential through technology. I personally believe that every human has the capacity for greatness no matter their economic or cultural situation. Whatever a person can dream they can do.

I have 15 years working in Information Technology and over 12 years in a Sales and Marketing Role. ManageSocial is my fifth start-up company and I love innovation, passionate people and no nonsense solutions that work. I love being an evangelist on the edge, from building social networks, to participating in the first blog conference in Australia, Blogtalk Downunder 2005, and led the first Web 2.0 Conference in the Philippines 2006.

I speak publicly on the Open Mesh, Social Media, Web 2.0, Social Networks, and Digital Lifestyle Integration. I teach as often as I can to help enable and empower people on a personal level.

Kevin Leversee’s Experience

Co-Founder

ManageSocial

(Internet industry)

May 2009 — Present (3 months)

In the last days of summer before the rains came to Manila, ManageSocial was an idea sparked with @replies over Twitter. Paul Papadimitriou and Kevin Leversee were surprised to find themselves meeting for the first time over coffee speaking ferouciously the same language of need for tangible service offering; combining Search and Social Media…without hubris. That very day ManageSocial was born.

ManageSocial founders are from Europe, Japan, Philippines and the US. Amazingly we all came together over the micro blogging service Twitter. Its members each seeing a real need for combined Search and Social Media Services for individual brands and business. Tired of self proclaimed experts, our vision is:
To produce simple repeatable services that produce credible and tangible returns.

We eat our own dog food, having been through two dot com bubbles, we know the difference between hype and business execution.
