Who is Jas Dhaliwal?

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile!

I’m currently working as a Community Manager for AVG.com, where I connect with AVG communities on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and on global forums. I also contribute to posts on AVG’s Social Media blog too.

Formerly, I was the Social Media Specialist at Microsoft UK, working within the fabulous Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award Program. Prior to that, I was the IT European Services Delivery Manager for Firmenich, a Swiss based Flavours and Fragrance house.

I began my career working as a Systems Engineer, specialising in various desktop and server technologies. I then moved into the world of Service Delivery, helping corporate business to transform their IT from a support partner, to a true business partner. I have worked all over Europe and love working with culturally diverse teams.

Having completed an MBA in 2007, I now live and breathe social media. I help businesses to engage with online audiences by leveraging social media tools. I work with key stakeholders to develop and implement online strategies which are in tune with the needs of the business.

Whether reporting back on marketing analytics, key industry trends or delivering workshops and seminars on social media. My key strengths are helping people reach out to key influencers and to engage with the ‘Voice of the Customer’.

This blog is a personal passion and looks at how small businesses are using Web 2.0 technologies as marketing tools. Behind my suit, you’ll find a geek marketer who is passionate about people and obsessed with technology. I position myself strictly in between the technical and the business world. Thus, I’m happy conversing with technical engineers, whilst equally at home presenting to business leaders. I have a Bachelors degree in Information Systems and graduated with an MBA from London’s Brunel University in 2007.

I appreciate all feedback, so please feel free to leave a comment on the blog, or send me a email to the address below. The thoughts and opinions expressed on this blog represent my own and not of my employer.

I can be contacted at jas {at] thewebpitch {dot} {com} or on Twitter

    Hi,

    I’m attending FOWA in a bid to get speaking with Paul Graham of Y Combinator. I’m hoping to apply to YC and am looking for programmers in the UK to form a team with. Are you a business guy or do you have programming skills?

    Thanks

    Colin

    Hi Jas,

    I recently kicked-off our London office for http://www.JustMean.com – the social media site that rallies both companies and individuals around social responsibility.

    I was reading your blog about new businesses are using Web 2.0 to grow their business. I think you might be interested in what we are doing because of your focus using Social Media to help socially responsibile businesses expand their talent.

    We recently relaunched our social media platform and sold to 30 Founding Member companies. Our Founding Members are large and small companies, non-profits and social enterprises, all committed to using the growing social media movement on the web to communicate values and bring positive change. We are excited to watch them leverage our platform to further positive change in our world.

    The reason I am contacting you today is because we feel that our work at JustMeans is relevant to your readers – who would be interested to learn about new social media. If you this is of interest to you, please let me know. I would be happy to give you a tour of the platform and discuss our vision for the site.

    Thanks for your time and please let me know if you have any interest to connect.

    Regards,

    Kevin Long, COO

    Hey Jas – I think you’ve done quite a good job of customising your wordpress blog. Why don’t you post an entry on how you went about designing it?
