Jeremy Wright’s Summary
I recently handed over the reins as CEO of b5media Inc. (www.b5media.com). When I left, it was the #10 online media company in Canada, the #2 blog network in the world, and the #5 blog publishing company in the world with 30MM pageviews per month and more than 12MM uniques.
I am currently evaluating opportunities and deciding on my next step.
Previously I've started half a dozen companies, including InsideBlogging (the first blog consulting company in the world), Barefooting.com (one of the first service-oriented hosting companies in the world) and studio:coco (a web design and development companies with clients such as Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Nortel, Novell and dozens of other Fortune 500s).
I am also the author of one of the first business books on blogging, Blog Marketing (www.ensight.org/book), published by McGraw-Hill.
In addition to these activities I speak at conferences on journalism, PR, marketing, blogging, business and adververtising. Oh and I play drums, love being with my family and have a tendency to be just a little bit random.

(Privately Held; Internet industry)
July 2009 — Present (6 months)
netmobs is the quasi-agency under which I am organizing my consulting activities. It might take off, it might not, but after nearly 5 years as CEO of b5media, I kinda dig not having to have a grand plan right away.
