Mark Line’s Summary
My life and career have been about absorbing and transmitting knowledge in some form or another. This has taken me to many different activities in many different fields: pure and applied research, consulting, software development, project management, line management and writing. I try at all times to leverage the breadth of my experience to attain success with each new challenge.
Not coincidentally, I have also been an advocate for more breadth of experience among knowledge workers. Everybody should be a polymath.
