Seth Immell

Seth has been hooked on computers since his father brought home a mainframe terminal in the early 70's. Programming on TRS-80's led to a career in technology through college and beyond. He supported and presented Apple training/marketing sessions throughout the US. He went on to continue with technical support in advertising and publishing. A move to London brought him into the investment banking world. He managed the technical support team for 200+ foreign exchange traders at UBS before being moved to Tokyo to run a technical support team during an integration of two banks and a move to a new building. He then led the team that implemented and managed IT Change Management throughout the Asia Pacific operations of UBSW.

A sabbatical allowed backpacking around the world for two years. Settling in Vancouver, Canada, Seth worked for Electronic Arts leading quality assurance teams and co-producing a PSP game.

A stay at home father after the birth of his second son, he still kept active in travel and became a mystery shopper of high end hotels and cruises. Seth evaluated four star hotels and cruises in Europe, Asia and North America for clients.

Now at Clearwind Consulting, Seth contributes his project management, quality assurance and marketing skills to Andy's programming expertise.
