My new position at The Times

After a couple months negotiation and some pretty hairy decision making processes I’ve finally signed and sealed a new contract to begin working at The Times.

On 1 August I’ll take up the position of Assistant New Media Strategist and I’m very excited about this career opportunity. I’ll be working directly with Colin Daniels (who becomes my boss) and Editor Ray Hartley and I’ll also work very closely with Carly Ritz and Gregor Rohrig which excites me immensely.

Oh, and I simply can not forget about David Bullard either. After calling him a wanker I’m now going to be working with the enemy which should provide some interesting encounters of the narcissistic kind.

Leaving Twac was not an easy decision to make however I do feel there is a lot of opportunity for me at The Times. The most important aspect for me in deciding to leave, apart from money of course, was the excitement around being innovative on a fairly large scale level which is something I’ve wanted for some time now.

I really believe The Times has the right people on board to make it a success and I’m simply honoured to now be a part of it.
