He is a columnist for Knowledge Management World and il sole 24 ore, and writes an influential business technology newsletter and a well-known daily weblog, JOHO the Blog. He was a philosophy professor for six years, a comedy writer for Woody Allen's comic strip for seven years, a humor columnist, a dot-com entrepreneur before most people knew what a home page was, and a strategic marketing consultant to household-name multinationals and the most innovative startups.
