Announcing our Advisory Board

We’ve been doing a lot of work under the radar for a couple of months and there are some exciting developments at Treasuremtext. The first of these is that we now have an advisory board.  The purpose of the advisory board is to add some skills and experience to our team; specifically in the area of mobile operators, and raising finance. We’ve been looking for people who can help us develop Treasuremytext; to improve the product, to reach a wider audience and to develop links with new partners.  We’re very pleased and honored to announce that Ian Hay, Imran Ali and Kerim Satirli are now on the Treasuremytext Advisory Board.

Imran Ali is a founding partner of Carbon Imagineering, a UK-based emerging technologies think tank, incubating a number of startup projects, working with media properties such as O’Reilly Media, Corante, and Giga Omni Media. Previously, Imran has been a Deputy Director of R&D for Orange UK, part of the advisory boards of O’Reilly’s Emerging Telephony conference and the eComm 2008 conference, as well as a cofounder of ensembli. Imran is bringing design & innovation sense, global contacts and funding experience to the team having been a part of the success of various early stage startups. www.imranali.name

Ian Hay is Head of Emerging Technologies at Orange and is bringing mobile operator experience to the team helping us to ensure Treasuremytext is an attractive proposition for operators worldwide. Ian’s expert technical background means we’re able to ask him ‘the difficult questions’ and get valuable help and support on infrastructure and technology strategy. http://ikisai.wordpress.com/

Kerim Satirli is a 2.0 advocate, specializing in influencing user opinion. Active and influential in the European Social Media community, Kerim is bringing his experience of “being 2.0″ to the team and will be helping Treasuremytext to develop new methods of integrating SMS services into other social spaces. http://kerimsatirli.com/

We’re looking forward very much to working with Imran, Ian and Kerim in coming months.
