  As a Board Director at Memento Social Ltd, my role is multifaceted and rooted in aiding the strategic development of this innovative start-up. We're not just another social media platform; we're a visionary team harnessing the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) to revolutionize the way we connect, share experiences, and interact with the world around us.My extensive experience in the tech industry, particularly in the realms of cloud and edge computing, allows me to contribute invaluable insights and guidance to the team. At Memento, we are pushing boundaries, daring to reimagine how locality can infuse relevancy into our digital communications. It's not merely about navigation or instructions; it's about creating an entirely new marketing and content sharing landscape, one where information is immediately relevant and location-specific.In this role, I work closely with the executive team and co-founders, Paul Norton, Niqi Mee, and Oliver 'Ollie' Ogilvie. Alongside these dedicated professionals, I am part of a team turning Hollywood dreams of AR into tangible realities for everyday users.We stand at the precipice of a new frontier, where our digital lives become a seamless part of our physical world. At Memento, we're developing a platform that perfectly marries these two dimensions, thereby shaping the future of social interaction.I am excited to be a part of this journey, helping guide Memento Social Ltd towards an innovative and promising future.
