This quarter we are proud to present our first event! On Thursday, February 12 from 11:30-12:30 we will be hosting Simon Propper, co-founder of Context and current CEO of Context America. See below and attached flier for more details!

Simon founded Context with Peter Knight in 1997, following five years with leading environmental consultancy Enviros. After graduating in chemical engineering he spent ten years in consumer protection roles at the UK Advertising Standards Authority and its equivalent in television regulation. In 2011, Simon relocated to Los Angeles to provide strategic services to our west coast clients and continue the growth of Context in America.

Recently he has worked closely with Centrica, HP, Life Technologies, Motorola, Vodafone and WPP. Simon has been instrumental in developing Context's services in strategy, marketing communication, reporting, stakeholder engagement and employee communications. He speaks regularly at conferences and client seminars and is an experienced facilitator of conference panels and management meetings.

They are looking for interested 2nd year and pHd students who would like to intern for the company and potentially be hired after graduation in June.

In addition to his talk, Simon would like to meet with students individually who are interested in discussing career goals and having 1-on-1 time with him. This is highly recommended if you are interested in the internship. RSVP on the above google doc for this as well.
