Dave Haynes, VP Business Dev, SoundCloud
Rahul Verma, Freelance Writer, The Metro, The Guardian, The Independent
Babatunde Adefuye, Senior Writer, MTV Wrap Up

Hope you like it, would appreciate your feedback… send me a tweet @RajKotecha

The parrallels between his work as a senior change manager, and the change instigated by social media consultants like myself, is scary. Great to hear it from a guy in his 60’s with all that extra experience.

Here’s the link.
