The Second Act

I am happy to say after nearly 2 years at Macromedia's Mobile and Devices group, I have accepted an offer to come back to Opera.

About 6 months ago, in the trenches on the mobile business development front, I started to remember how good it was to work at Opera. Great product, best people I have ever worked with and those special years living in Oslo. I wanted badly to get back to the browser battlefront and of the few choices out there, Opera still is my first choice. Sentimentalism won.

I am thrilled to be back. Officialy, my start date is April 7th. I fly out to Oslo for a kickoff meeting on the 17th. Boy, do I miss Oslo. Took me awhile to say that, but it's true. Lots of great friends out there and it's just got a special place in my heart. Not sure what I will do first out there, but heading to my favorite cafe, Kaffe Pikene, will be somewhere near the top of my list.

Austin, TX -- my home town and the "Hub of the America's" is where I will be based. It's a great location to do business development. Both coasts are easily accessible and being a tech hub, I never feel far from the pulse of the market. I look forward to building the market in the states for Opera and hopefully reeling back in all of those users that somehow thought Firefox was a better browser. There's still milions of IE users that are waiting to be treated to Opera. I look forward to engaging the browser market once again.

Thank you Opera for beleiving in me and my abilities (once again) and for that, you have my undivided dedication and sincere appreciation.

Let's do this!
