Introducing... Bryn Griffiths, VP of Digital Media and Technology

 Good morning KMG members...

I just wanted to use this opportunity to introduce myself a little to all of our members as the new VP of Digital Media and Technology. Hopefully I'll have the chance to meet all of you at an event or over drinks but until then, this blog post aims to enable you to put a human face behind the tweets and announcements spamming your inbox.

Here we go... My name is Bryn Griffiths, I am from the UK and I was born to Liverpudlian parents in the commuter town of Woking, Surrey (just to the West of Greater London, quite near to Heathrow Airport). I studied History at the University of Liverpool, lived in Changshu, China teaching English for a year then studied Chinese for a year in Beijing. After that I came to DePaul to get my MBA in Entrepreneurship and Finance but finally realised, during my last class, that Marketing was my real passion!

I am also a greenster, so I'm heavily involved in sustainabilty movements and organizations and a HUGE Liverpool Football Club supporter. I blog and tweet here and there, play football (soccer) for the Liverpool FC Supporter's Club I co-founded, I recently ran my first half marathon and, although I have now graduated with my MBA, I am still "in a state of career transition" which is about as much fun as trapping your finger in a door.

I have always been heavily involved in digital or social media as they call it and have been using online technology extensively (though I am still learning html) and I hope that I can bring some alternative thinking to the KMG's online conversation now and in the year to come.

Thank you for reading a little about me, now let us know a little more about you on Facebook, Linked In or Twitter.

Bryn
