Introducing Hugh Stimson

PlaceSpeak would like to announce that Hugh Stimson is joining our team as Product Manager.

Communicating on the web with data has been Hugh’s focus for the five years he’s been helping values-based organizations in Vancouver with spatial analysis, web design and interactive mapping.

A background in ecological science took Hugh from the Amazon jungle through satellite studies in California and the Smithsonian Institution, and back to school in Michigan for a Master’s degree in Environmental Informatics. Along the way, he’s frequently returned home to Canada to plant trees in clearcuts; and finally to settle in Vancouver, where his former passion for motorcycles and deserts has slowly shifted into a love of camper vans and Pacific fjords.
