Mike Hughes
Mike is a freelance consultant with over 15 years of industry experience, specialising in areas of multi-stakeholder relations, peering & interconnect, and technical evangelism.
Having a degree which has nothing to do with computing, Mike's technical skills were forged in the fires of dial-up ISP tech support and network ops in the mid- to late-1990s, having to do mighty hacks to make things work, and the power of asking someone to "Reboot and if it still doesn't work, phone back". Mike is also Chair of the Board of Trustees at University of Greenwich Students' Union. LinkedIn Profile Mike's Blog Twitter Also on the Board of Directors |
