Full bio

Tim Higginson is founder of www.webhub.mobi by Yuvee, Inc.  

Tim invents and builds in many arenas.  He does this on the basis of the RFK quote "Some look at things that are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were and ask why not?" derived from a line in play by George Bernard Shaw.

In the WebHub.mobi arena, a core value that WebHub brings to people and companies is that it lets anyone, anywhere #multishare links on topics they are interested in. Right now, most people and companies share one link at a time, or maybe a list of links embedded in an email. Using WebHub, anyone can collect, organize, annotate and share as many links on a topic as they want.  Each collection (we call them #multishare maps) gets its own unique URL. They are persistent, in the cloud, available on any device with a browser (the one app that comes pre-installed on every phone, tablet, laptop and PC and that everyone knows how to use), and can be edited any time.

Tim's experience includes leadership roles in innovation, mobile Internet and apps, product and services design, cloud and mobile revenue strategies, technology market trends forecasting, multi-party transactions, global patent portfolio strategy and execution, and start-up operations.

Tim advises senior management of other companies. He delivers practical, actionable solutions on mission-critical matters that place these companies in strong, differentiated and more competitive positions.

He provides "Smart creative" disruptive innovation and leadership.
