Matt Williamson

Matt Williamson, founder of Clevyr LLC, a social media consulting group, is a professional technologist who consumes streams of information and finds the right way to package it back to the audience. His years of experience in the internet related field brings a view to the enterprise that blends the Web 2.0 mash-up ideology with the more formal corporate IT world. He spends his time thinking about the next step, treating technology in the enterprise with the same imagination that a speculative science-fiction author treats space travel and planning the Singularity.

Employer:	Clevyr LLC
Position:	President & Founder
Time period:	April 2009 - Present
Description:	Clevyr discovered a simple problem, a problem that we decided we could help solve. Most organizations can't afford to dedicate personnel to Internet technology and strategy. We know that too often good companies don't reach their full potential, because they lack the knowledge and understanding of what technology can offer them. There was really only one option we could take - show them. Clevyr's mission is simple; it doesn't need to be put into a paragraph, filled with marketing terms and technical bingo words. It is this: Technology Is Beautiful.
