Michael Geer

COO of AnchorFree - Empowering people through technology

Have learned the internet industry from the ground up while helping build badoo.com in Moscow and then set up the London office, constructing Badoo piece by piece from 0 to 70 million users. 

I left Badoo in July 2010, advise and mentor early stage startups, helped build Dream Industries' three companies Bookmate, Zvooq, and Theory & Practice, and now work with AnchorFree to support the freedom and privacy of the internet.

I believe technology, the exchange of knowledge, and simple user flows can dramatically improve people's lives. I work every day to make this happen.

Feel free to contact Michael Geer with any world changing ideas.

COO at WAYN

October 2010 - May 2011

Worked with the fantastic WAYN team to show the power/importance of social media and interaction for the travel industry. I was able to work with the whole team to bring WAYN from an Alexa rank of circa 5500 to better than 1500 in the short 8 month period. WAYN is now well placed to take its rightful position as a powerful force in the social networking and travel world.
