Kabul Intercontinental 1973

Kabul Intercontinental, 1973

Another weekly image from the family archive. Click on it to make it larger.

The hotel on a hill. We visited once back in the early 1970s when all was relatively calm. Sad news this week that the hotel was the site of a terrorist attack.

More from the trip that year on flickr.

I am Chief Revenue Officer at SharedBook, an innovative new education company located in New York. I have been an Adviser to SharedBook since early 2010. In early 2011 we launched AcademicPub.com a publishing platform that allows faculty and educators to create custom course materials for their classes and students.

Previously I was Managing Partner of Information Media Partners, my own business strategy consulting practice focused on helping publishing and information companies invest in their future through content management, product development and/or mergers and acquisitions. My career spans a wide range of publishing and information products, services and B2B categories and my operating and consulting experience has largely been with brand-name publishing companies such as PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Macmillan, Inc., Berlitz International, R.R. Bowker and Wolters Kluwer.

I have served as a board member of the Association of American Publishers (AAP), the Book Industry Study Group (BISG) and in addition to my responsibilities at R.R. Bowker, l also served as Chairman of the International ISBN Executive Committee.
