Joe Friedlein
RAF scholar, PwC accountant, web 1.0 veteran – I have been there, got the T-shirt and am now the office’s resident geriatric. Having been involved with the web since the days of ‘new media’, I fell in love with search & founded Browser Media in 2005. Outside work, I love being in the big outdoors (ideally Pembrokeshire) with the dog.
