Judith Lewis
Judith is a sort of renaissance woman of digital marketing, having almost a quarter century of experience, she actually got online while programming in 1985. Continuing through university, she wrote a thesis on social media before it had a name in 1994. Continuing in her online experience, she worked on eCommerce sites before they had the ability to transact online, affiliate sites when you still had to manually add a code, and mail servers, where she got intimate with packets, DNS and BIND, and TCP/IP. She has forgotten more than some people know about online marketing, drinks far too much, is terrible with names and needs glasses but refuses to wear them until she gets a headache. She’s worked in pharma, gambling and porn and she doesn’t suffer fools gladly. While currently known for her… *cough*link building*cough*… she’s capable of everything from strategy through technical to outreach. She’ll be attaching her name along with others to the forthcoming Econsultancy best practice guide to SEO and really you should buy her beer and ask her questions when you can because she’s one of the few who will give you an honest, straight and correct answer. – More about Judith Lewis

Jarno van Driel
A technical SEO with 20+ years experience. He started as a ‘webdesigner’ and quickly became one of the first full-time front-end developers in NL – which proved to be a fruitful background and led to organically growing into a full time SEO role over the years. Coming from a background in accessibility and html semantics he got involved in structured data in the late 2000’s when he was first introduced to something called ‘semantic meta data’. As a result he was one of the largest global publishers of structured data for the first 3 years after schema.org was introduced to the world. He’s known for sharing the knowledge he obtained during his professional work as well his work as a volunteer for the schema.org organization – knowledge that comes directly from many of the people that helped create many of the semantic standards (W3C) that are used by the major search engines.

Ruben Remy
Starting SEO as hobbyist in 2007, my hobby became my profession. I’m a freelance/Interim SEO specialist with agency and in-house experience. Lots of data and technical SEO is what makes me tick. Although having a broad SEO experience, I’m currently focussing on SEO during digital transformations and the crossroad where SEO meets stakeholder management, agile and change management. This comes from the realisation that it’s not enough to have advanced knowledge of SEO. Steering a corporate towards SEO succes requires change management, implementing new ways of working and growing the SEO capabilities of teams that are touching the front-end.

Technical SEO for ages. Loves to fiddle with everything shiny and new. That sometimes is and often is not so shiny after all.

Looking very much forward to reconnecting or connecting to you all of Dutch or Twitter Fame. Cheers

Chris Boggs
“I have been in the industry since 2000 working for myself then agencies then myself again for the last 5 years. I work with some Enterprise clients as an SEO consultant and as a PPC management company (we also do SEO campaigns). By “”we”” I mean me with my team of trusted subcontractors from my agency days and since.
I don’t write much in public any more but you may find some good foresight within my articles from the 2000s and into the 2010s. “”Chris Boggs SEO”” Google search should help you find them 😉
I am married with two children and enjoy soccer and golf as activities, once I have already walked my English Labrador Luna. I live in Saratoga New York which is about equal distance by car from Montreal, Boston, and NYC.”
