In 1998 I founded Ecademy, the UK’s first social network for business, with my husband Thomas. Ecademy is now a global operation with 470,000 members in over 230 countries and more than 6,000 clubs and networks. Underpinning the network’s success is the powerful feeling of being part of a community and the strong intention that each member has towards helping one another.
I guess my unique contribution to the world of social networking is that I has created a hugely successful network myself. I have been there, done that and for that reason I am becoming the public face and voice of online networking, regularly on radio, with appearances and interviews on Sky and BBC News .
I have now written a book that is being well accepted and is spreading around the world called 'Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me
'.
I spend a great deal of my life traveling and speaking at events and conferences.
