For those who haven’t yet met Jon (some of you) or Malik (all of you), I just wanted to take two minutes to ‘formally’ introduce them:

Jon has joined us from BLT and is consulting primarily in B2E / Recruitment, helping corporate recruiters and consultancies realise the value in social recruiting, employee empowerment and organisational advocacy. Jon made a film of his first week, below, which is apparently his excuse for not having written a self-depreciating bio.

Malik joins us fresh from business school (EM Lyon) and will be primarily working on social media strategies in B2B markets. His bio is below. Hailing from Cannes, we await his First Week with Carve film with considerable interest.

Malik is the newbie of the team, and another Francais wanting to settle in London because of Brit rock clichés. Deeply influenced by a drunk graffiti artist in Barcelona who shouted at him to « Express Yourself or Be Quiet », he has since that day vowed never to be quiet, and therefore loves to express his original and crucial perspective on just about anything: from the the latest social technologies, to Lady GaGa’s haircut to analysing Barcelona’s latest footballing masterclass. Previously a hard-core Seesmic user, he finally accepted to leave his first love and switch to Hootsuite to follow his workmates, as of proof of obediance.

Malik tweets @MalikAberkane and you can see his Flavors

So, welcome to the team - and yes Malik you need to change that LinkedIn photo..
