Let me introduce you to Michael Idinopulos, the new Socialtext VP of Professional Services. I first met Michael at Wikimania in Boston two years ago, when we were on a panel with Andrew McAfee about Enterprise 2.0. I had previously encountered his writings, such as this piece on discovering expertise and we naturally hit it off.
Michael comes to Socialtext from McKinsey & Company, where he helped clients with Enterprise 2.0 as Global Director of Knowledge Technology. Amongst other projects, he helped create McKipedia, McKinsey's internal social search tool for finding information and expertise. Building upon the five years of mistakes we have learned from, I have no doubt that Michael's experience creating value with social software tools and practices across his own company and clients will prove invaluable for customers in the Socialtext network.
Michael succeeds Matthew Mahoney in this role. Matt's contributions to Socialtext were immeasurable and he found it was time for him to get back to that education startup concept he had before joining us. Although we will miss working with him, it's wonderful to see a friend follow his dream after helping us with ours.
I'll be sure to highlight the first event where there is an opportunity for you to meet Michael.
