Founder and managing director of Cicero & Friends Communications Consulting with more than 23 years of in-house and agency experience in the IT, Telecom and space sector and a great passion for the latest technology.I have advised startups and large brands on their communications including Virgin Galactic, OneWeb, Orbital Access, Skyrora, Geocento, Qualcomm, BT, NEC, CA Technologies, Neopost, Imagen, Vanco, Nvidia and Micromuse. I've also spent two years as an industry analyst with clients such as Cisco, HP, Alcatel and Linksys. Outside the office I'm a passionate photographer and tennis player. Whenever I find the time, I'll be chasing a fuzzy green ball or trekking through rainforests or deserts for nature and wildlife pictures. Fun fact: I was born in the year of NASA's record breaking Apollo 17 mission, which was the last time a human walked on the Moon. Apollo 17 was the first night launch of a U.S. human spaceflight and the final crewed launch of a Saturn V rocket. Apollo 17 was also the most recent time humans travelled beyond low Earth orbit. And it was the first mission to have no one on board who had been a test pilot.
