Technology public relations and marketing
Bristol, United Kingdom
I've been involved in technology sales and marketing for the past 25 years. I have been a 'bag carrier' through to Marketing Director for a US listed software company.
Having worked for both hardware and software vendors, UK, US and Japanese HQ'ed I bring a strong mixture of skills all based on practical experience.
Outside of my daytime job I am a mentor for new technology start-up companies across the south of England including within the SetSquared business incubator at the University of Bristol.
Specifically, I am interested in MBI and acquisition opportunities in the electronics, software and PR/marketing sectors.

Focused exclusively on the electronics industry, Publitek is an international, PR-led, marketing communications agency like no other. All directors are electronics engineers, so we understand the technologies, products and markets that you serve. We combine more international PR experience in the electronics industry than you'll find in any other PR agency, so you know the advice we give is based on homework, not guesswork. And over 80 freelance specialists and partners across the globe support us, giving you instant access to the media that are important to your markets in Asia, Europe and the US.
There's another important difference in the way we work. Publitek clients deal only with directors of the agency.
