Scott Paley

Scott Paley is an Internet technology consultant and entrepreneur. In 1999, he co-founded Abstract Edge, a highly creative digital consultancy based in New York where he works as Chief Technology Officer. Scott has been working with Internet and database technologies since 1993 and is an expert in content management, web publishing, online marketing, database development, and dynamic web applications. He has successfully led technology teams in the creation of sites for major clients in media, entertainment, hospitality, fashion and beauty, consumer packaged goods, finance, e-commerce, and not-for-profit organizations. His well-known clientele has included major brands like Clairol, Marriott, Loews Hotels, Discover Magazine, Disney, Perrier, Vera Wang, and Atkins Nutritionals, but he is most proud of the successes he has had with not-for-profits and causes such as Million Mom March, American Legacy Foundation, The Gift of New York, and Give Kids the World. In addition to managing AE's technology group, Scott is heavily involved in client strategy, business development and marketing. Scott helps to educate his clients on the latest trends in online marketing and the intersection of technology with marketing. This blog is an attempt to further that effort. After graduating from Brown University with a degree in Computer Engineering, Scott worked for several years at Computer Associates where he created web-based business applications using CA's most cutting-edge technologies and consulted Fortune 500 companies in the high technology, telecommunications and financial services industries. Scott is a member of The Plone Foundation, Content Management Pros, The American Association of Advertising Agencies, and The New York Software Industry Association. He is a frequent presenter at international technology conferences such as Comdex, Jupitermedia's Content Management Expo and the Plone Conference. Scott has a deep love for The New York Mets, his wife Sharon, and his daughter Mira (not in that particular order.)
