Zach Beauvais’s Summary

Having been described as Talis' "token non-geek" and with a degree in linguistics (BA (hons): English Language and Communication, Kings College London) my experience is varied, but focused on empowering ideas. I am passionate about seeing thought and communication channels opened and love research and implementation of new projects. I like to see the shaping of concepts (from writing a blog post to leading discussions) lead to a more complete picture of an idea, and I think that from the dialogue, direction emerges.
