Dave Witzel, Founder and Managing Director (on sabbatical)

Dave, a founder of Forum One Communications, is really excited by the concept of social production -- lots of people working together to make the world a better place. He works with clients, users, and colleagues to define and implement new approaches and tools to get more work done better and faster. He helps design tools to support collaborative work and develop approaches to attract, engage with and support online professional networks.

During 2008 Dave is on sabbatical from Forum One. He was a Visiting Senior Program Associate at the Center for Global Development (through Sept. 2008), is Senior Editor at the Personal Democracy Forum and blogs at PolicyCommons.org. Contact him via email, twitter (@dwitzel), or phone (571 641 3029).

Dave's background includes time as a teacher with the U.S. Peace Corps in Botswana, as a computer programmer at a couple of software companies, and as an international development consultant in Indonesia, Burkina Faso, and with the World Bank. He came of age in Texas and has degrees from Texas A&M University and Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.

When not at his computer he spends his time with his wife Claudia and their two boys Adam and Zachary.
