Time for me to fly at Altimeter Group

I am pleased to announce I’ve accepted an offer to join Altimeter Group as a partner leading our coverage of personal technology and mobile devices. In my work at Altimeter Group, my goal is to work with clients and help them understand the implications of a multi-screen, always connected digital world and how best to leverage the opportunities this new world creates. The analyst world is a relatively small one and I have long admired and respected the work of my partners, Charlene Li, Ray Wang, Jeremiah Owyang, Deborah Schultz, Lora Cecere and Alan Weber. Each of them is a thought leader par excellence who in their own way, has changed the world in their areas of expertise. When I was first approached about joining Altimeter Group, I was both humbled and honored. As I’ve had the chance to speak with my new colleagues over time, my appreciation for their brilliance, insight, analysis and creativity has only grown.

We live in perhaps the most intense and disruptive time in technology history, where Moore’s Law of change that occurs every eighteen months seems to be eclipsed by change that occurs every eighteen minutes. I, therefore, am thrilled to be able to collaborate with such wicked smart peers and I look forward to offering my insight and analysis to organizations seeking to understand and prosper from “what’s next”.

Life is a Series of Hellos and Goodbyes

A little over a year ago, I joined Interpret to create Interpret’s syndicated research products. In that time, I’m pleased that we were able to launch five research coverage areas, driven by data from Interpret’s New Media Measure data offering. I believe Interpret’s syndicated reports are best of breed within the industry and offer differentiation and insight that are unrivaled.

That said, with a great team of analysts in place to continue to drive new coverage areas my job at Interpret is largely complete and I have decided to pursue new opportunities going forward. I was truly fortunate to work with colleagues of such high caliber and I know Interpret will continue to grow and thrive in the future.
