FULL BIO

Finally acting on my entrepreneurial aspirations, I co-founded The Travel Editor.com in 2007 and launched the business in March 2008.

The Travel Editor is a new innovative digital travel guide for the discerning 21st century traveller seeking excitement, adventure and discovery.

The Travel Editor has partnered with top travel journalists, broadcasters and bloggers to produce content that is both inspirational and informative. We then weave in the latest Web 2.0, streaming media and mobile technologies to create a truly unique offering for the modern traveller.

Our offering is unique in the travel industry:
* Insider knowledge from top travel journalists, film-makers and subject specialists
* Trip planning and booking tools
* Audio and video rich media (streaming video, podcasts, audio guides)
* Community networking
* Mobile location-based services

Prior to my start-up, I had a proper job as a marketing professional with 15 years experience in telecoms, new media and internet.

I have considerable international experience and I am currently based in Greater London.
