Vinny Lingham, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of incuBeta, has been invited to become part of a global network of industry leaders who participate in consultations with worldwide investment professionals.
Lingham, aged 27, is an online marketing and technology specialist who also participates in testing new products produced by the various search engines on an ongoing basis. He was approached by The Society of Industry Leaders to join the world-renowned network of practitioners for his acute knowledge of online media. He also speaks at numerous industry conferences and is highly regarded in this area.
The Society of Industry Leaders is a knowledge conduit providing information to Vista Research, a Standard & Poor`s company that supports the buy-side research needs of institutional money managers with independent, unbiased research. Standard & Poor is a prominent global provider of independent credit ratings, financial indices, risk evaluation, investment research, data and valuations.
Lingham will join the elite group of high-quality industry veterans and thought leaders from every major market sector. Society of Industry Leaders Network Members undergo a strict screening process to ensure that only top quality industry leaders represent the organisation to global institutional investors.
Last year, Lingham`s company, incuBeta, won the South African Emerging Technology Top 100 (TT100) award for the Most Promising Emerging Enterprise and The Commission Junction Award for Innovation in the US in 2004. The South African company has developed a range of world-class Web-based technologies that have caught the attention of major players in the global Web-based commerce industry.
Since its inception in 2003, incuBeta has expanded rapidly. While one of the major company strategies remains focused on online marketing for international clients, its highly innovative technology division is fast-becoming renowned for the success of its software and online products. In just three years, incuBeta is already producing over $100 million in online revenues for its clients through its advanced search engine technologies.
"Our mission at incuBeta," says Lingham, "is to continuously improve the infrastructure for global online marketing and technology and expand search marketing into every corner of the globe."
The company operates offices out of Woodland Hills, California and is establishing a UK office in May and already has clients in over 10 countries.
Lingham also operates his own blog, which reaches over 20 000 industry professionals every month, available at http://www.vinnylingham.com.
