A salute from me to you, as the new Sidekick community and talent manager

Posted on 10th December 2011 by Lara Swansbury -

This is my official salute as the newest addition to Sidekick's cavalry. I signed up as the community and talent manager because I'm inspired and convinced by what everyone at Sidekick is doing, to make brilliant digital stuff for social good. Designers, entrepreneurs, techies and strategists… nerds, creatives and social animals… thinkers, talkers and do-ers. And it felt like my turn to grab an oar and start rowing.

In past lives I've studied Law, run community regeneration projects, project-managed for creative agencies, been a copywriter, managed immersive brand-experiences, dabbled in public sector communications and mentored spirited young adults with big challenges. And my mission at Sidekick is to use this experience and my commitment to bringing innovative, creative stuff together for social good to best serve our team, ventures and networks.

Startup, tech, social, charity, business, creative, community and entrepreneurial... I'll be joining these dots to help Sidekick find the most effective, exciting and useful ways to exploit digital for good. You can also file me under events, talent-spotting and keeping our networks up to date with the latest news from Sidekick HQ.
