International Business Development
Axel has an amazing ability to link Mobile Innovation, Social Network Dynamics, and their impact on international trade and investment. He is able to connect with and energize an audience, no matter how varied the group may be. At a recent conference that I organized he captured a crowd of media, tech, and online professionals with a presentation on Mobile Monday and its importance in driving innovation and cooperation between mobile developers, international technology companies, and other relevant stakeholders. Great to see someone actually living the idea of Global Mobile Business Development.
