Aaron Kim

When Aaron Kim and Bernie Michalik briefed me about the Emerging Technologies team (part of Application Development Innovation, Application Services, Global Business Services, IBM), they told me about the cool presentations they gave to our clients... and how strange it was to not end a Web 2.0 presentation with a link to a blog.

Aaron Kim Aaron Kim is a Solution Architect and Web 2.0 Evangelist. He has worked with a broad range of enterprises to design, implement and manage complex web infrastructures and applications. His industry experience includes banking, insurance, retail, utilities and healthcare. He holds a bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of São Paulo and an MBA degree from the Rotman School of Business (University of Toronto). Aaron co-chairs the IBM Web 2.0 for Business community, with more than 700 members worldwide. He has given numerous presentations on Web 2.0, Social Computing and Blogs, Wikis, and Podcasting, and has helped clients in Canada, US, Spain, UK and Turkey bring Web 2.0 to the enterprise.

Aaron Kim has resigned today from IBM - as per his blog post. A big loss for IBM - Aaron is an admired and respected brain; really pushing new perspectives on emerging tech & enterprise 2.0 at IBM. Its not surprising to me that his new employer was also one of his biggest clients at IBM. A quick view to his blog comments show a lot of admiration from other ibmers.

I'm fortunate to be a part of Aaron's social friday 2.0 club; informal meet-ups among us Toronto 2.0 geeks - though he was absent at the last one given a business trip to NICE. (envy). I hope to hear more about his move and sincerely hope he is still involved in emerging tech.

I like his exit post - he shows a deep respect for IBM as many of us did when choosing to leave the tech nest.

I got to meet the greats - a phd student, Pranam Kolari, who masters in blog spam (splog), another student, Sacha Chua, who researches corporate adoption of social networking tools and doubles as an incredible web2.o evangelist, yet another, Aaron who studies wikis and enterprise 2.0 pushing IBM's innovationjam full of ideas (and who was my original inspiration for blogging), another ibmer Jen who doggedly pursues the creation of web 2.0 services, another IBMblogger Luis, who, as a knowledge management contributor, managed one of the most popular blogs inside and outside for IBM, and still another who has educated me on the future of second life.
