I am extremely pleased to announce that Tom Raftery, social craftsman and energy maven, has agreed to become a Greenmonk associate. He will now be a regular contributor to the Greenmonk blog, and we will also work together to build out a related consulting-oriented business. Its very early days for Greenmonk itself, let alone the Raftery relationship, but I am hopeful that I can help Tom establish the regular monthly income that will enable him to live in Seville in style. We plan to work together for a lower footprint.
Seriously though: Tom’s skill-set is right on the money. Greenmonk was always supposed to be about grassroots, open and social software approaches and methods, and Tom is an expert. I would be surprised if we don’t get some greenmonk podcasting going at some point. And Tom has real experience of building a hyper energy efficient data center. what’s not to like?

James, thanks for the vote of confidence.
I’m really looking forward to our working together here.
Congratulations to Tom and well done to GreenMonk for hiring one of Ireland’s best thinkers.
