Jon Hansen

Founder of Procurement Insights

In May 2001 Jon sold his company for $12 million dollars – mostly shares and debentures, only to see the dot com bust erode away his personal wealth to practically nothing by 2007. This as it turns out was the catalyst that caused him to pursue his present endeavor in the world of social media.

Today, the PI Social Media Network is viewed as being one of the top networks in the industry in terms of innovation and quality of content. The flagship Procurement Insights is actually the number one sponsored blog in its industry sector in total number of sponsors, and industry followers rate the PI Window on Business Show as one of the most popular in North America.

Besides writing more than 700 articles and white papers, Jon is also a highly regarded speaker addressing audiences of all sizes ranging from 10 to 20 people in a seminar to giving a keynote address to 400 professionals at major conferences.

Prior to completing this book, Jon had finalized the agreement to write a second book on the emergence of the So Act social network. This second book has now been released as an eBook with the paperback version becoming available starting in February 2010 through distributors such as Lulu, Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.

Both books will also be introduced international at the London Book Fair April 19th to 21st, 2010 in London, UK.
