Evan Rudowski

I'm a native New Yorker and I've been working in online and internet media since 1986.

I thought I'd be a journalist, but early in my career I became a transplant to the online business.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s I spent eight years at Newsday, the Long Island daily newspaper, where I helped launch some of their earliest online services.

In the mid-1990s I joined Rupert Murdoch's very first internet venture, iGuide.

When iGuide crashed and burned in 1996, I transplanted to California to join the fledgling Excite.com.

One day in 1998 Excite offered me a role overseeing its European activities, and I transplanted again, this time to London.

Then one day in 2001, the bubble burst and Excite went bankrupt. Time to do consulting. Through my firm Atlantic Leap, I helped numerous companies come over to the UK, from mobile geniuses to advertising gurus to professional wrestlers.

Now I have a start-up, SubHub, based in Cardiff, Wales. SubHub enables content owners and creators to publish their content to the web and make money from it via subscription, advertising and e-commerce.

I live in Bath, a beautiful old Georgian city in the southwest of England. My wife and I are raising two little Englishmen.
