bio_shot Rick E Robinson, Ph.D.  Co-Founder of E-Lab, former CXO of Sapient, and Global Director, Observational Research at GfK.  Rick is a Partner in SideRiver Ventures and Editor of pulp.  If this is who you are looking for, you’ve landed at the right place.

This is a resource site, not always completely up to date, though I try.  I keep versions of biographies and bibliographies and photos here for use in conferences, talks, background conversations, etc.  There are also links to work that has been published in one form or another, and a few presentations.

I don’t blog here.  (Really, I don’t blog at all).  But if you want to know what I’m up to, (along with a number of colleagues) check out Pulp, a work-in-progress site, and (soon) The Acme Review, an open source-model case-study database.
