Anastasia Ashman | Building an Expat Community
http://www.turkishwin.com/
Anastasia Ashman, a longtime Istanbul expat, understands what it feels like to not belong to the community in which you live. That is why she created her own global niche: an international, virtual community where people can find their voices again. Here she shows just how her search for community turned into something big.
Anastasia works with early stage portfolio companies, and manages the pipeline for Topaz. She was the head of product at a multiplatform visual story service, cofounder of the web training company GlobalNiche, and editor of the anthology and blog Expat Harem. She was a business editor at a Silicon Alley trade magazine for Internet technology and ebusiness. Anastasia groks storytelling and the continuing evolution of digital content. Having lived in New York, Los Angeles, Rome, Kuala Lumpur, and Istanbul she maintains a global business perspective and understands the power of connecting and creating community through content.
