Julia Johnston

Julia Johnston is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of mEgo, Inc. (www.mego.com).

mEgo has developed a “portable multimedia profile” that allows users to share dynamic, customized visual representations of themselves across the web. Instead of creating a number of profiles on a variety of social networking sites, users create a “mEgo”, including their profile information and favorite feeds and utilities (YouTube videos, Flickr photos, Amazon.com wish lists etc) and post it to their social networks, blogs and personal web pages. Based in Los Angeles, California, mEgo launched at the TechCrunch40 conference in September of 2007.

Previously, Julia was based in London, U.K. as the Senior Vice President of Business Development for PCCW, the dominant telecommunications company in Hong Kong. Prior to joining PCCW in London, Julia was based in Toronto for the company and was involved in the sale of Gordon Capital Corporation to HSBC in 1999.

Julia spent five years in Hong Kong, with various divisions of the predecessor to PCCW, Pacific Century Group, including STAR TV, the first pan-Asian satellite television service.

Julia is the co-author of “Split Screen – Home Entertainment and the New Technologies” published in 1992 by the Friends of Canadian Broadcasting.
