Jeff Yablon is a computer geek.
Not really. Jeff isn’t a geek at all, although he performed a radio program as The Computer Answer Guy in the late 90s and brought that persona to CBS Television’s Up To The Minute national news program. Over a long and varied career, Jeff’s exhibited a talent for translating geek to business, and speaking business with geeks.
At the turn of the millennium, Yablon sold his equity positions in Denver-based Planet Computer Inc. and San Francisco’s PlusMedia Broadcasting, both of which operated using business models designed by him and implemented under his direct supervision. Planet Computer’s Planet Uplink was one of the first Application Service Providers, while PlusMedia produced and distributed news and entertainment programming via the internet, broadcast radio, and television.
Introduced in 2004, PC-VIP is the way Jeff took nearly twenty years of experience and made computers work better for businesses and their people.
A renowned educational speaker and broadcaster, software author, and business development expert, Mr. Yablon has worked in concert with senior management of companies large and small to craft and deploy strategies for implementing and merging technology and business processes for employees and customers.
During his two elected terms as President of the Computer Press Association, Yablon authored ethics standards for the journalism community, and created guidelines for accrediting electronic journalists that were implemented by virtually the entire technology tradeshow industry.
Jeff wrote for International Data Group’s PC World Magazine in the mid 1990s after founding the world’s first electronic publication in 1989; he’d built IYM Software Review’s reader base to 300,000 through distribution agreements negotiated with CompuServe, America Online, and others. As The Computer Answer Guy™Jeff pioneered techniques for delivering advertising to listeners via streaming media, and maximizing its impact.
