Born in a small working class town in Scotland, Mhairi was desperate from an early age to escape and see the world beyond the "bonnie braes". After graduating from University where she learned all about intricacies of business, her big chance came in the summer of 1995 and she embraced it - "Canada here I come" resounding gleefully in the air. Alas you can take the Scot out of Scotland but you can never take Scotland out of the Scot: a handy attribute when it comes to managing Internet marketing projects where fiery passion and thrift are beneficial.
Fortunate to be introduced to E-commerce and on-line business applications at a time when most people thought the "net" was something old ladies wore in their hair, Mhairi has long been leading edge in her attitude to new technology adoption in business. Now a fully fledged Canadian (eh), Mhairi has had stints living in Montreal and Toronto, finally settling in Vancouver where the rain made her feel more at home.
Turning her back on the high powered world of software sales and marketing and the Fortune 500 in 2001, Mhairi now focuses on Internet marketing and new marketing in particular sharing her knowledge with anyone who will listen. "I have Christine to thank for encouraging me to blog. She has been on at me to write for several years now so she's the one to blame" says Mhairi. Starting out with a MySpace rant under a pseudonym and getting hooked, Mhairi now blogs to share, learn and let off steam.
