Cliff Reeves

I was born in Sri Lanka (then it was Ceylon) of British parents. I lived in Sri Lanka, England, and Malta before moving to the US.

In the US I have lived in NC (Raleigh), TX (Dallas and Austin), MA (Boston), and WA (Kirkland). At present I roam between my family home in NC and my work home in WA

I am married, with two daughters and one wife.

I worked at:
-- IBM
-- Lotus (it was IBM too ... well, sort of)

I am presently working in the Emerging Business Team at Microsoft. We work with start-up companies, and VCs to help them and our customers get the best out their relationship with Microsoft. I focus mostly on collaboration software, broadly defined.

I plan to write -- mostly -- about software and the companies I really like. Like, that is, for any number of reasons. Maybe they do something really new, or really well, or maybe they signal a new trend. Or all of those things.

I'm a Microsoft employee ... so expect both bias and insight in that respect. I worked at IBM and Lotus for a long time ... so same caveats apply.
