About Scott

Unlike many involved with the web or in photography, I am neither a product of art college or have a formal computer background. I worked with the business advisors KPMG for over 20 years where I was a senior manager advising multinational businesses when I chose to make the break from big corporate life in Spring 2002. The photograph was taken shortly afterwards.

I now combine my business experience with my own interests in photography and in supporting businesses develop on the web. As an enthusiast for the capabilities of the web, I am particularly keen to identify businesses where the web truly can transform their fortunes - and help them achieve this end.

At photoconnect.net, I run my own online business. It sells stock photography and currently helps about 20 other photographers sell their images on the web

I have actively participated in contributing to the World Wide Web since 1996 and within KPMG I developed striking and user-friendly intranet content. I worked in a specialist group that advised entities from small dot.coms to the largest global businesses on their tax and internet strategies. There, as well as serving clients, I was the individual responsible for ensuring that professionals globally were armed with the e-Business knowledge to be able to deal with the wide diversity of businesses trading over the internet. I communicated this knowledge through an intranet site that I developed and through presenting at conferences to professionals of all grades in the UK and Europe

Moving on from this area, I then become involved full time in looking at options and making recommendations for how KPMG's own medium term web proposition for clients should be developed including the part that the internet should play in the delivery of services.

Don't hold back from contacting me for an informal discussion of how I could help you. You should find me (relatively) a jargon free zone, straightforward to deal with, a person who believes in delivering a quality service and results."

Not quite a one man band...
