New Community Resource: Ryan Coleman
April 8, 2008 – 8:16 am| For months, we’ve been saying that while VizThink is hosting several events, our goal is to build a sustainable community. We’ve just taken the next step in making that vision a reality. We’ve just hired Ryan Coleman to be our Chief Community Evangelist. In his new role, Ryan will be responsible for helping the local communities get started (London, Austin, and Toronto already are running with many more to come), building an online community and social network for people around the world, and providing tools and resources for the visual thinking community members. | ![]() |
When Ryan starts on May 1st, he won’t be starting from scratch. He comes with an amazing array of great experience including starting several businesses, starting several communities (not the least of which is the very successful VizThink Toronto), and organizing/hosting the very popular audience-determined events known as BarCamp. At our event in San Francisco, he led a well-attended & received session on building a local VizThink community.
We are so excited to have him on the team! Be sure to send him a note or post your congratulations in the comments here. Welcome Ryan!
