Dave Millman is an MIT graduate and former Director of Marketing at IBM. His present role is Vice President of Marketing at CiraNova, a software company located in San Francisco’s Bay Area in California, servicing the semiconductor industry.

He’s also an expert witness in software intellectual property & distribution agreement cases - and a regular listener of The Connections Show. (Scored big kudos with me straight away!)

Dave recently wrote to me, detailing a number of examples of successful business outcomes he’s achieved as a result of using LinkedIn.

Naturally, I invited him to come on The Connections Show and share them with us - so join us for a fascinating & stimulating discussion, as Dave outlines some of the creative and undocumented (but highly effective) strategies he’s been using to good effect.

Ron Bates is a Headhunter, Executive Search Consultant & Recruiter based in San Francisco, USA.

He’s also widely known as LinkedIn’s most-connected user - with around 40,000 direct Connections. However, while Ron’s name is well-known to many people, he himself maintains a fairly low personal profile.

In this interview, we chat with LinkedIn’s ‘Man of Mystery’, as Ron reveals many details about himself, how he first became involved with LinkedIn, the time he spends each week maintaining and interacting with his network - and the business benefit he receives from having such a large number of connections.
