Paul Lamkin – Co-CEO, Wareable Media Group
@paullamkin
Stints at Tech Digest and Electric Pig under his belt, Paul became a contributing editor on Pocket-lint where he was nicknamed ‘news monkey’ due to his comprehensive coverage of everything and anything new in tech.
He then edited a laptop magazine where the pace was a little bit slower (as were some of the readers). When he wasn’t writing about RAM or SSD options Paul also penned more interesting reviews for TechRadar and T3.
Prior to founding Wareable, he was the senior editor of MSN Tech. Paul is a self-confessed geek and has been accused of being both an Apple ‘fanboy’ and a Google ‘fandroid’ – so at least you know that his bias is balanced.
Paul, along with James Stables, turned Wareable into the Wareable Media Group when they launched sister site The Ambient, back in January 2018. In mid-2019 they added a third site to the portfolio when Get Sweat Go was launched.
Take a look at a 2014 interview with Paul to find out more about why Wareable was launched.
