A digital thinker and practitioner who is passionate about using technology to create more effective, human organisations that are better adapted to the volatile modern world.
Lee is passionate about using social technology to put humans front and centre of the way we do things in the Twenty-First Century.
He has been playing with words and computers since the age of 10, but it was in the mid-1990s, whilst working in international politics and diplomacy, that he discovered the immense power of the internet to influence and orchestrate change.
He believes social networks, not bureaucracies, are the organising principle of the current era, and is excited about further exploring new forms of highly connected organisations.
