We’re three partners at Human Made. My primary responsibility is developing the future revenue of our business – by managing the Sales, Marketing, Business Development and Product teams. We tend to work on research, campaigns, growth initiatives, product design/management, process engineering and business intelligence. Before unifying these various activities, I was involved with various products at Human Made, which had primarily consisted of Happytables ( http://www.happytables.com ) and Nomadbase ( http://nomadbase.io ). Happytables has completely spun out of Human Made, but remains part of our narrative.

  • WordPress + GA4 + AI = less content, more performance

    WordPress + GA4 + AI = less content, more performance

    In 1985, Microsoft shipped Goal Seek in Excel. A few years later came Solver and Monte Carlo simulations.

I remember using these tools during my years in banking, often grinding the CPU to a halt. Solver,…
