About Me
Hi,
I am currently responsible for the technical vision and product strategy for the Content Management products at Alterian. I joined Alterian through being the CTO at Mediasurface, who Alterian aquired in July 2008 and I previously held various customer facing and product marketing and strategy roles.
I have a passion for business on the internet, having focused on web technologies for the last ten years, working with some of the major vendors and pioneers in this area, particularity during my tenure with Vignette. I have over a decade of enterprise software experience, engaging with global blue chip organizations (like McDonalds, Diageo, AstraZeneca and Glaxo) while living and working in the USA and Europe.
I am second generation techie, my father was a programmer and my first computer experiences are of playing with punched cards and tape as a child, until BASIC and that first ‘microcomputer’ entered our house (a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a)…
The thing I enjoy most in my work is engaging with prospective or current customers and partners, who are doing interesting things (and sometimes the simplest of things) to realize the promise of Web Content Management and the Internet. I am regularly asked to speak at events and webinars to promote our thinking as a company or as an industry observer.
This is my personal blog, so whilst I witter on about work related stuff, my views are not always representative of our company. For this reason, I also don’t currently run on our software for this blog, although I have done in the past - I use Wordpress currently hosted by GoDaddy.
I am on Twitter, LinkedIn or e-mail me.
Ian
