Bio: 

I've been working with Drupal since 2006. As Drupal Director at CTI Digital I head up a talented team of Drupal specialists. We provide Drupal consulting, business and digital strategy for clients ranging from BASF, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Greater London Authority, Warchild UK, Royal College of Occupational Therapists.

I am a volunteer for Drupal Association marketing team, Global Social Media Lead for the Drupalcon. I'm behind Drupal's Twitter presence too. If you have a story you think should be shared, please reach me via this form https://assoc.drupal.org/social-media-request-form.

Working alongside a team of community volunteers I am leading the Promote Drupal Pitch Deck initiative [ http://bit.ly/drupalpitchdeck ] as part of a wider effort by The Drupal Association to further enhance awareness of and adoption of Drupal.

I was honoured to participate in the Drupal Strategy Summit in Vienna https://medium.com/@pdjohnson/drupal-strategy-summit-day-1-ef5b77ebc5d3 helping to take the first steps in a journey towards defining answers to big questions like “What does success look for Drupal in the next 3–5 years?”, understand possible directions Drupal could head, determine what ingredients we might need to achieve any given goal.

Together with Jeffrey A. "jam" McGuire I conceived and delivered "Celebrate Drupal 8", the official site which was focal point for the global celebrations for the release of Drupal 8. This included the release of a film featuring a diverse and global cast http://bit.ly/d8thefilm. You can read about the project here http://bit.ly/1Rxjebe.
