Jerry Michalski

Jerry Michalski is the founder of REX, the Relationship Economy eXpedition (http://sociate.com/REX/REXhome.html), a private, collaborative inquiry into the next economy. More broadly, he is a pattern finder, lateral thinker, Gladwellian connector (www.gladwell.com/tippingpoint/tp_excerpt2.html), facilitator and explorer of the interactions between technology, society and business. From 1987 to 1998, Jerry was a technology analyst, first at New Science Associates, then as Managing Editor of Esther Dyson's monthly tech newsletter Release 1.0, as well as co-host of her annual conference, PC Forum. He was fortunate to be on duty when the Internet showed up. Jerry earned an MBA from the Wharton School and a BA in Economics (mostly econometrics) from UC Irvine. He was raised in Peru and Argentina and speaks fluent Spanish and German -- and pretty passable French.
