Welcome to mTrends!
My name is Rudy De Waele, I am Belgian, living and working in Barcelona, Spain. Often invited as a speaker and contributing writer to a number of professional publications, my thoughts and ideas on Mobile 2.0 have gone around somehow 
You can view my last presentation on the subject here.
Currenty I work at dotopen, an open innovation consulting firm advising start-ups and established companies with their strategic positioning, defining business models, creating alliances, and identifying market and funding opportunities.
I am part of the organizing committee of Mobile 2.0 Conference in San Francisco and the founder of MobileMonday Barcelona and MobileMonday Madrid.
Advisor, Strategy & Market Development - Enabling Next Generation Mobile & Web Services Strategies
Professionally one could describe me as a creative, visionary, thoughtful and self-motivated strategist with excellent inter-personal and communication skills in several languages, and technology platform experience across the Internet, Mobile Internet and Wireless Media.
I have worked on projects as diverse as R&D, competitive intelligence analysis, digital concept, think-tank, content and event development, mobile and digital music distribution, communities and social network analysis and development, and content integration of wiki’s, blogs, moblogs and RSS feed technologies.
Well-connected among key players in the digital media distribution and global mobile value chain players, I’m passionate for the new and the innovative and not afraid of mixing the unmixable.
