Paul's Mission: "To design outstanding and innovative digital experiences!"
Innovation Architect and Mobile Consultant: Widely known as a leading technical contributor to the global mobile industry for nearly the last two decades, Paul has worked on projects on all continents. Recently, he was contracted for 2 years as interim Chief Architect for Motorola’s mobile applications/TV group. During that role, he set up an agile development lab called 'The Mashing Room,' utilising the latest in Web and Mobile 2.0 technologies to meet real business needs for operators and their customers. He has also worked in related fields, such as ‘Mobile TV 2.0,’ which is about interactive TV that works seamlessly across web, mobile and set-top boxes, often seen as the holy grail of convergence. He also defined the entire digital services portfolio for several companies, including MVNO start-ups.
Paul is currently acting as Innovation Evangelist at O2, the UK and Europe's leading mobile operator. He heads up the O2 Incubator program and a number of key innovation activities relating to web 2.0 integration with mobile platforms.
He has over 20 years of rich, varied and creative experience in the industry, numerous patents, projects and industry firsts to his credit and one of the best selling books about mobile applications. He has advised many technologists, companies and entrepreneurs globally and is waiting to assist your project with innovative product and service strategies.
Paul is a strategic designer and innovation architect, combining knowledge of industry/market trends, business processes and technology enablers to architect the best possible digital product, service or business solution to meet real business objectives.
Trainer: Paul has held many Mobile 2.0 workshops and courses for numerous operators, mobile and media companies across the globe. His courses are based on real experience and real examples, explained in an accessible and friendly manner. Many senior and middle managers, particularly in operators, still don't understand the set of paradigms and patterns that make up Web 2.0. This is explained within the mobile industry context.
Writer: Paul blogs, writes books, white papers, presentations, magazine articles, video scripts and corporate publications in a variety of areas. He writes for himself, for major publishers and for major corporations. He is also an aspiring novelist and will soon publish his first sci-fi thriller (for young adults). His book Next Generation Wireless Applications (Wiley) is a best-seller and now in its second edition, which is a major upgrade embracing the Web 2.0 and Mobile 2.0 themes, areas in which Paul actively works and innovates with his clients.
Enthusiast: Paul is thrilled by the challenge of making kick-ass digital products and services, especially where mobile is involved. However, Paul also likes to spend lots of time with his three kids cultivating a sense of joy and creativity and respect for others. With his family, he enjoys making music and film. He enjoys keeping fit, attending the gym 6 days a week. All of these activities feed into his personality and his work, giving you the best possible value for money in terms of creativity, enthusiasm and sincerity from a gifted individual with a passion for design and innovation.
