Tim Parsons’s Summary

Goals :
To bring the future to life by creating smart products and high-growth companies with talented people.

Professional Experience:
After completing an engineering PhD and establishing my aerospace career in London in the early 90’s, a secondment to the BBC to write and present a 1 hour TV documentary led to a change in direction towards the exploding world of “Online / New Media”. Since then I’ve worked with over 100 clients worldwide like AMEX, Apple Computer, Audi, Drambuie, Honda, Kodak, Mazda Japan, McDonalds, National Geographic Channel, Nikon, Southcorp Wines, Amnesty International, Toyota, and Woolworths.
