Graham began working in IT as a programmer in 1986. By 1990, he was specialising in systems design and building enterprise administration systems for Reuters in Europe. In 1991 he was posted to Singapore, where he spent five years leading design, development, and implementation teams across Asia. He went on-line around the time NCSA released the Mosaic browser. In 1996 his team built the first intranet for the company – serving the training department. Graham returned to the UK at the end of 1996 and, in 1997, became a freelance consultant, working in both the UK and in the USA.
In the last ten years, Graham has followed the dual paths of IT consultancy and copywriting. In the latter role, he has put his technical knowledge to good use in B2B marketing material for clients such as Vodafone, BT, Hitachi, and Microsoft. Increasing involvement in blogging and web site development has meant that Graham has often been able to combine his skills in the same project. His IT and marketing communications experience lead him to believe that the tools and technologies now available offer companies a great opportunity for dramatically improving the way they reach their channel partners, distributed workforce, and their customers.
