I met Neville at a talk at the City Womens Network earlier this year. The subject was Managing Your Image and he was one of the panellists - speaking about managing your image online. I’d been following his podcast for awhile and you know how you form a view of someone from their voice. Well, he was how I imagined he would be - he is approachable and friendly while having an aura of quiet authority. And he’s very tall. I took that photo of him and made him bend his knees so it could be a face shot and not one looking up his nostrils…

His podcast is a great insiders look into marketing and technology but a bit tecchy in places. He’s also a keen Second Lifer with an “island” in Second Life where his marketing company Crayon has a presence.
