Brand Director, EDN, Test & Measurement World, Planet Analog
I'm brand director for EDN, Test & Measurement World & Planet Analog, where I'm responsible for the overall content and ensuring the brands grow while remaining true to their promise to both users' and sponsors. Since graduating with an National Diploma in Electronic Engineering in 1987 (Dundalk Institute of Technology, Ireland), I've been either doing or covering technology, design, and learning and have a passion for developing ideas, content and platforms that help engineers and innovators connect and get from concept to reality as quickly as possible -- and have a little fun in the process. When not thinking about that, I like to annoy my wife and tease my two little ones til they cry 'uncle' and can't take it anymore. That makes business travel a lot more attractive for everyone involved. I also like running, lots of music, reading (philosophy, biographies, mostly), hiking, home improvement (technology and reconstruction), playing with media, and gadgets.
