David Tebbutt

David is Chief Collaboration Officer at 6Connex EMEA

David spends most of his working time as Chief Collaboration Officer at 6Connex EMEA.

He does, however, still run the occasional course on how to handle the media, often in conjunction with Martin Banks - they started doing this together in 1988.

Relevant background:

He's responsible for all collaboration activities between 6Connex EMEA and its staff, partners, prospects, customers and the media. 6Connex provides organisations of all kinds with a virtual environment for exhibitions, conferences, meetings, collaboration and training sessions.

Until May 2010, he was launch editor for Blue & Green Tomorrow - a magazine focusing on making the world better tomorrow than it was yesterday. Key focus is sustainability in all its senses. David edited, and wrote much of, the first five issues.
