The WorldBlu Blog

I’m happy to share with you that Kareem Mayan, my dynamic and innovative friend who is also very passionate about organizational democracy, has agreed to join the WorldBlu Global Advisory Group.

There’s a cool story of how Kareem and I met – back in June I gave a talk at Harvard, which was turned into a podcast. My buddy and fellow WorldBlu advisory group member Alexander Kjerulf, best known as the “Chief Happiness Officer,” blogged about it. Kareem read his blog and then reached out to me and we’ve had a sacred brain-trust even since.

Here’s the brief buzz on Kareem:

Kareem Mayan is a Los Angeles-based technologist who currently works at FOX Interactive Media (FIM) Labs, which is charged with developing new products and technologies for use at FIM. Prior to FIM Labs, Kareem played significant product development roles in building successful community sites at ESPN.com and FOXSports.com. A passionate believer in good employee and customer experiences, Kareem is a graduate of Creative Good’s Fellows Program, and currently moderates a group of Creative Good Associate Council members who help each other solve business problems. In early 2006, Kareem brought together a community of 85 technologists in LA as a co-organizer of LA’s first self-organized “unconference”. A Toronto native, Kareem graduated from McGill University in Montreal with a degree in psychology and computer science.

Kareem continually feeds me loads of great ideas, news and such that keeps me in the know and my blog current. Kareem has two fantastic blogs himself – Kareem Mayan’s Weblog on customer experience, emerging technology, media, and more, and Hidden Mojo. Check ‘em out.
