Ashley helps clients identify opportunities at the intersection of ecommerce, social interaction and location-aware services. He's one of the pioneers of the field, with over 15 years experience as a digital commerce entrepreneur. Media/retail companies he has founded include Musikube, which innovated the technology that lets people use their cellphones to identify the songs they hear (and buy them), and Entertainment Media Works, which brought us StarStyle and StyleLogue, among the first Social Commerce websites. These pioneering endeavors allowed people to buy the clothes they saw their favorite celebrities wearing on TV, straight from the show. He has a passion for enabling people to discover, remember, buy and share the products they see, hear and experience. His motto is "Making life buyable."

An acknowledged leader in this arena, his achievements have been recognized by a number of prestigious awards, including Linkshare Retail Affiliate of the Year in 2007, AlwaysOn Top 100 in Hollywood Award and European Mobile Consultancy of the Year in 2000.
