About me

I’ve been online on some network or other since I was 14, usually as Iphigenie. It’s almost my middle name now. I am also know as Zenaide, Azzurre, Superiphi and Ifigenia when Iphigenie is already taken or doesnt match the context.

I’m a web witch turned bossy exec… Not only do I practically live online, I work there too! I have worked as a web producer-project manager-senior architect-business analyst-technical sales-tech support-developer-sysadmin…. you name it, I’ve done it! Until recently I was a director in an 20 man internet company which I spent the last 4 years building - but I have just recently decided to move on, to get out before it totally cannibalised me. There are a lot of stories to tell here, of mistakes, successes, loyalty and betrayal. I have learned a lot, some of it painful. I am now the CTO in a b2b media company, working on the transition to online-centric, and involved in startup around vertical search.

I’m a social animal. I love meeting people, and hanging out with people. I think in an ideal world I’d love living in a huge house full of people, bohemian style, if that still existed… I wish I spoke a few more languages and always mean to learn another. Maybe I should take the time… I believe everyone is fascinating, except maybe people who are so full of themselves there’s no place to communicate anymore.

I’m endlessly curious. I like exploring, from little known places to independent music, alternative films, small publishers… This carries over to the computer where I have a keen interest in shareware, independent games, alternative websites and communities.

Key hobbies: trying things out or generally wasting time on a computer. bookoholic, film buff, an amateur photographer, a mountain climber and hiker (with the camera!). Dabble in arts and crafts now and then with no illusion.

What i really want is to work for muyself, or do another startup. Or go work for Unesco and try to help change the world.
