Matt Rogers’s Summary
At heart, I am a technologist - fasctinated by how our advancing capabilies are enabling new ways for people to interact, whether communicating, buying and selling, searching, forming groups and communities and expressing ourselves.
In my professional life I've been lucky enough to have been part of many of these trends. Working for mobile operators I set strategies and directions and worked on product launches directly related to this.
I plan on continuing to work to enable people to find new ways of connecting, using the power of the Internet.
