Need to grab a 3rd person bio?

Maximillian Kaizen is a culturesmith, researcher, educator, activist and big fan of tinkering.

Max is Public Lead for Creative Commons in South Africa, a global organisation that develops and supports legal and technical infrastructure between the Internet and the realworld. She champions the protection of digital rights like universal access, open-education, open-science, and specifically, intellectual property on the Internet where government, business and civil society meet.

She is one of the founders and senior researcher for Huddlemind Labs, an educational software company that has been providing blue-chip companies and business schools with social-learning solutions since 2007.

As Chief Muse and Maker at the Ogilvy Digital Marketing Academy , she gets a chance to experiment with social learning online, realworld, by-whatever-means, for the world’s largest ad agency. She develops open-education resources and courseware to share the learning beyond the agency’s invitation-only programs.

As co-director of Business Acumen for Artists at the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business, she is gladly part of one of the most innovative business school programs that really does change lives and fortunes.

So by know you’ve realised that despite the monolithic-teutonic-man name, I’m an xx-chromosome being and a fairly little one at that.

Please do contact me if you need a decent high-res pic for the talk/workshop/conference – or – the waaaay more entertaining backstory on the bio.
