Stewart Mitchell has been an IT journalist for more than 10 years, working across a number of publications including the Sunday Times and specialist magazines such as PC Pro, Computer Shopper and PC Adviser. He has run his own Internet-based business for the last four years and regularly meets with IT business leaders.

Even in the dark, Mitchell wouldn’t pretend to be a techie, but he knows an awful lot of people who are, as well as many IT executives who manage those techies. A solid understanding of the issues surrounding IT for the business, coupled with an ability to translate geek speak into something slightly more understandable, makes him a conduit of digestible information.
