Past Chair and Member at Large / PR & Social Media - Management Division @ Following the restructure of the society to One ASME, the Management Division now requires a forward-looking strategy on globalization. As we find ourselves in an increasingly interconnected world, new emerging ways of communicating, collaborating and doing business are creating both challenges and opportunities. In order to fulfil its mission statement, to serve a diverse global community, ASME must now explore and engage with the many new ways of connecting through social media and other networking platforms and channels.
The objective of my ongoing role to lead PR & Social Media for the Management Division is to facilitate the implementation of better ways for member engagement and communication, increasing the opportunities for networking and a global job market, as well as business development for webinars, workshops and leadership training. From July 2015 to Present (5 months) Chief Executive Officer @ “Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need.” Tyler Durden in “Fight Club” (played by Brad Pitt)
Everybody hates annoying advertising and other force fed content on broadcast TV, especially when you also paid to watch it on cable. Sanity TV are pioneering a game changing media technology that puts the viewer in ultimate control over content. With our inexpensive and powerful media platform, we turn ordinary TVs into interactive TVs. We have an API and SDK to allow developers to publish TV apps on our app store that control, integrate and augment live TV streams with other digital and social media from the web. Our technology puts us in a position of power that broadcasters and advertisers did not see coming and we are turning their conventional revenue models upside down. At Sanity TV, we are re-inventing television.
By facilitating engagement we enable transactions.
