Speaker(s): Mark Walton

We welcome Mark Walton - Kingston Law School alumnus and Global Client Executive at LinkedIn, as he returns to campus to share his advice and knowledge on using LinkedIn as a professional networking tool.

With more than 467 million members, LinkedIn is the most popular social network for professionals. Launching in 2003, the social media site gains two new members every second, and gets 105 million unique visitors every month.

Mark, who graduated with an LLB from Kingston University in 1996, has worked at LinkedIn for nearly 6 years, joining as an Enterprise Account Executive in 2011. Mark has since risen to Global Client Executive, leading the overall business relationship between LinkedIn and a number of their largest and most strategic global clients.

In this talk, Mark will provide expert insight and knowledge as to how to effectively use the platform for networking, marketing and job hunting.
