Lindsay Clark has been writing about business technology for more than 20 years, starting at PC Week in the late 1990s. He went on to manage the news team at Computer Weekly in the early 2000s, the then gong-collecting staple of ITâs senior managers. His career was waylaid by music, which merited brief session appearances on BBC radio shows including those hosted by Mark Riley, Janice Long and âWhisperingâ Bob Harris. As a freelance journalist, he has written for The Financial Times, The Guardian and a list of B2B titles as long as your arm. He joined The Register in February 2020.
