About my work & projects
Peragro Media Inc.
My company in Canada is Peragro Media Inc. Peragro, the latin word for ‘to travel through’, is my main focus of my time and more will be appearing on its sparse website soon.
Trail Canada
During my time travelling in Canada in 2002 I created an online travel diary and photo gallery. Over time and with a fair amount of effort this website has grown into Canada’s most popular independent travel guide. With a variety of websites supporting the main Trail Canada website, I have built up an unrivalled presence in the Canadian travel market.
Canada Events
Peragro Media also operates the Canadian event and entertainment guide Canada Events.
Travel Masters
One of the main work areas which keeps me busy is my position as Vice President of Business Development for Travel Masters. Travel Masters is a fast growing, Canadian travel brand comprised exclusively of experienced travel professionals who operate from agencies located across Canada. Each Travel Masters office is part of a group franchise which is centrally maintained by leading edge technology and an experienced support team.
The past
My past work has included an internet marketing company called GoEffect which provided internet marketing strategy consultancy, creation, management and implementation in the travel and tourism sector.
I was also involved with HotScot Technology, an Internet services firm providing solutions to the Scottish tourism, outdoor and recreation industry. I was headhunted by HotScot and work as a solutions developer. My roles cover many areas from internal communications, product development and assisting in other areas of the business based on my previous experience.
Prior to HotScot, I worked at Cap Gemini Ernst and Young in the Lloyds Register and Management Information Services departments.
I started my own company, Cali Net, in 1998 and held the position as director of operations after incorporation. Today the company is the largest and most successful in the industry with an impressive client base and with a unique service offering.
