“From the countless people I have interacted with over the years in high-tech Alan stands out for his honesty, integrity, wisdom, passion and genuine affection for technology progress. He has no ego, he expects no favours, he is generous with his time and contacts and has communication skills (verbal and written) to die for. He will add wisdom, value and fun whatever he does.”
Nick McNaughton
CEO, Blue Cove Ventures

“If the Australian digital media industry has a group of founding fathers (or mothers) Alan Jones’s name must be close to the top of the list. Alan was driving this industry forward in the mid-90s – before most of us realised that there WAS an industry. He’s also one of those rare professionals who has never rested on his success – but always looked for new ways to challenge technology, media and himself to deliver outstanding results for whichever business he’s been involved with. I’ve very much enjoyed working with Alan over more than a decade in digital media. He’s been a mentor and font of wisdom to me and to countless others. He’s also one of the best connected people in the game.”

“Since the earliest days of the internet, Alan has been known in Australia and globally as Big Yahoo!. He epitomised the brand in its early iteration as a start-up, and has been a fount of knowledge about everything to do with the web since then. I had the the good fortune of working for Alan in those very early days of Yahoo – he is a true inspiration to his colleagues, clients & product users. Alan still continues to be a world-leading champion of product development and user experience innovation, particularly in the social media space.”

“Alan wields his words like an adamantium Ginsu knife set. He can slice, dice, annotate, and innovate — and wait, there’s more! He’s also a perennial prosumer of the latest gadgets and social networking bling. If your product could use more personality, passion, or prominence, seek him out.”
Stephen Steneker
Director, Grox

“Alan Jones is one of the most “plugged in” guys I know. He doesn’t just understand the Internet, but it is part of who he is. Alan has a huge heart and is one of the best guys I have worked with. He is well connected and lives what he preaches.”

“Alan’s one of those key players of the Australian online world who leads the way. Plus he’s a nice guy and a Mac user to boot.”

Principal, Ideal Interfaces

“You will never meet someone with more dedication and energy than Alan Jones. In the first 2 weeks of a visit to Bluepulse’s US office, Alan had more of a positive impact on the team and culture than many existing employees.”

“If I had hair then, it would be grey. Alan has just that mix of passion, ambition, charm and outright stubbornness that you must cope with as a boss if you want true performers. What a relief that he also shares a mischievous sense of fun. A person who can be your colleague and still a friend.”
