I’m Marc Danziger, and this is my professional blog. I’ve had a personal blog – mostly about politics – since 2002. It’s now over at www.windsofchange.net.

I’m a passionate believer in William Gibson’s line – “the street finds its own uses for things” – and that the best thing managers can do is to help that happen.

As a consultant, I’m always moving forward, looking for work and looking to learn new things.
