Hello Everyone!

[Celine]

I was quite fortunate to meet Peter and Christine at the Net2
conference in San Jose last month -- the work you are all doing to
build this platform is fantastic, and I am so looking forward to being
involved with such a great group of people. To make good on my 1st
promise to Peter, a quick post to introduce myself...

I'm a strategic development consultant based in San Francisco, working
with growth organizations in the for- and non-profit sectors. My
professional focus for the last 10 years has been in online
advertising, marketing and e-commerce technology, spending 6 years
leading sales and strategic alliances for the industry's largest
performance marketing network (Commission Junction) as well as for
online retail, search marketing and ad network startups.

I've worked with The Benetech Initiative on development, operations
and program related investment strategies, and am on the board of The
Art of Yoga Project, which teaches a yoga and creative arts curriculum
to incarcerated teen girls as a practical tool to build esteem,
respect, and accountability to self and community.

Ok, super to meet you all!
Celine

Hi Celine,

Thank you for introducing yourself to the group. Celine and I had a
really great follow-up conversation a few weeks after Net2. Celine,
we're going to need your help in developing our distribution strategy as
well as in thinking through the earned income program. I'm looking
forward to learning from your experience...

All the best,
Peter
