Tim Yull’s Summary

Although I am currently in a role that allows me to exercise my skills in innovation, strategy and business contextualization, I have also developed a high level of business development and relationship management skills.

While I enjoy focusing on the development of high level business cases and analysis, I also have a desire for high levels of client and collegial contact and interaction.

My personal and professional experience has always had a strong leaning towards understanding how companies can effectively leverage and integrate technology into their operations, specifically around social media/networking, Web 2.0 tools and methodologies, as well as mobile/wireless hardware and software.
