I’m glad to welcome my friend Vincent van Wylick as a Tech IT Easy guest blogger.
With Alexandre (finance & strategy), Kari (telecom, software development, innovation, CIO view point, project management, Apple), Steve (human-machine interfaces, Microsoft, Apple, digital strategy), Lucien (Web 2.0 & China), myself (software, entrepreneurship, Internet business models, Microsoft, clusters of innovation) and now Vincent, the team is has been growing at a one-more-blogger-per-month rate recently!
I had met Vincent back in fall 2004 in Rotterdam. Vincent & I were classmates in the Master in Entrepreneurship & New Business Development program – and we got along really great from Day 1, working together a number of time (not as many times as the number of beers we had together though).
Vincent had been blogging for 2 years when he felt he didn’t have enough time to run his own blog. Blogs get traffic and comments if and if only they’re updated frequently. That’s exactly why, rather than suffering loneliness in running a personal blog, Vincent answered positively to my invitation, being able to blog whenever he feels like, with no other constraint than blogging clever thoughts on technology.
Vincent’s posts will mainly focus on software for Mac, incubators, Dutch high tech start ups, the media industry & books on innovation and entrepreneurship.
If you want, like Vincent, to join Tech IT Easy as a guest blogger, drop me an e-mail. My long term goal is to make of Tech IT Easy a self-standing blog, with no mention of my name in its title, in which passionate young professionals are given a chance to interact on topics related to entrepreneurship & technology.
More about the guest blogger: Vincent van Wylick, 30, a German and Dutch national, was born in Germany, has lived in many different European countries (including Belgium, the UK, the Netherlands). Vince started his career working for Tele2 as a marketer and then joined Sony Europe where he spent three years working on new product introduction in 4 different countries. Since then, Vincent mainly took assignments in start up companies, and is completing a Master thesis on “Overcoming the Equity Gap for High-Tech Starters Residing in Incubators”. Vince holds a BBA from UMIST (UK) and a Master in Entrepreneurship and New Business Development from Erasmus Universiteit, Rotterdam School of Management.
P.S. You can also find him at his blog focussed on food & retail venues.
Thanks for the intro. I’m glad to be here.

Steve, you’re right to welcome Vincent – he’ll be a big asset for us (especially if he manages to keep his excellent writing short and simple
).
