Director, Beyond Jobs
Wingham Rowan is Director of the “Beyond Jobs” project in London, UK.
Beyond Jobs grew out of multiple UK government investments to create advanced markets for low silled people seeking non-standard employment. Wingham oversaw these projects and market launches. He now works with cities in Europe and the USA.
Many years before “The Sharing Economy”, he authored two books (one published internationally) and countless articles about the potential of new markets for irregular economic activity in communities. At the time he was producing and hosting what became the UK’s longest running TV series about the Internet.
He has written multiple policy papers about the “grey zone” between structured work and unemployment in cities. His papers arguing employment policy needs to support better markets for non-standard work have been published by institutes from the anti-poverty left to the free-market right.
