Troy Angrignon’s Bio
I am a socially and environmentally business builder, advisor, athlete, and adventurer. My purpose in life is to use the power of business and technology to create new ventures that contribute to the development of a more sustainable, more open, and healthier life, community, society, and world.
I’m currently an independent management consultant. I advise the founding and executive teams of startups and established clients on business management and technology practice areas. Functionally, I focus on enterprise sales, strategic marketing, partnering and emerging technology strategy. Technologically, I advise on Cloud computing, Software as Service, Enterprise 2.0 / Web 2.0, and Environmental Sustainability. In this role, I’m fortunate to be associated with two amazing companies in the cloud computing space: RightScale and Appirio.
Previously, I was President and VP Sales and Marketing of WorkHabit, a web application development shop focused on building online communities and private label social networks on the Drupal and Jive platforms.
Prior to that, I was the Director of Strategy for Hinchcliffe and Company, a leading Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 consulting, training, advisory, and media company. In this role, I work with our team of associates to provide Enterprise 2.0 consulting to the Fortune 1000, delivering training and providing advisory services to startups.
Before joining Hinchcliffe and Company, I was the Emerging Technology Strategist for Business Objects, where I was tasked with identifying new growth opportunities, markets, offerings, and business models that arose from emerging technologies. This included having the opportunity to support the launch of our Software as a Service unit, and also working on our online community, social software initiatives (blogs and wikis), and product-centric Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 strategy.
I write and speak on the changes occurring at the intersection of business, technology, finance, health, society, and the environment on this blog and for various other publications.
I am or have been a volunteer with the Business Objects foundation, 30 days of sustainability, Vancouver Enterprise Forum, Angel Forum, and the Canadian Financing Forum and I was fortunate to be a mentor through the Rocketbuilders Market Readiness Program and the New Ventures BC program.
I attended and graduated from the Leadership Vancouver class of 2004, a program I have recommended to many others for its breadth and for the opportunity to meet and work with some of Vancouver’s most dynamic leaders in the private, public, and non-profit sectors.
From 1994-2004, I owned a computer consulting company that specialized in providing management consulting services to businesses and non-profit organizations.
In order to maintain my energy, I spend as much time as I can staying fit with CrossFit, CrossFit Endurance, biking, running, swimming, triathlons, snowshoe-running, yoga, and anything else I can find that is intense and provides lots of variety.
I live where ever my laptop is at the moment and can often be found (or not found) on airplanes or in airports.
