Founder and President of the World Technology Network, James Clark was in Malta recently in his capacity of external advisor and member of the iAnytimeAnywhere (iAA) Network, to Gzira-based e-mobile business builder, iWORLD Group (iWG).
Mr Clark enjoys a formidable reputation in the international business community, and was listed as one of the sixty members of the 'New York' magazine's 'New Media Elite'.
This was Mr Clark's second visit to Malta, following his participation in the iAA e-mobile summit in Gozo last November. He describes his affiliation with iWG as 'an honour' and commented that 'iWG in Malta has all it takes to be a world-beater'.
Mr Clark set up World Technology Network, a global association of many of the most innovative and impactful people in the technology world, in 1997. It has achieved world-wide renown and prestige for its World Technology Awards Programme, held in association with "Business Week" magazine and NASDAQ, and its for its ambition to encourage fortuitous relationships among its members.
Before that, Mr Clark had previously spent more than twelve years developing ACCESS: Networking in the Public Interest, a USA-based national non-profit organisation that offered recruitment services for the US non-profit sector , including the arts, education, environment, social services, and philanthropy.
In 1992, Mr Clark was invited to join the Clinton presidential campaign as one of campaign's directors, as well as the organiser of various roundtable discussion during and after the election campaign.
His reputation grew further when two years later he set up Access.Point, one of the first Internet consultancies, which was focused on the intersection between online technologies and public service.
Mr Clark spent three days on the island, meeting with iWG management and
employees to offer his invaluable contribution to the development of the
company. He plans to return to Malta every other month, as well as continuing to
offer a regular contribution from his London base.
