Rob Hinchcliffe has been passionate about building online communities since 2003, when he founded the collaborative blog Londonist. Over the two years in which Rob edited Londonist, it became one of the most widely read blogs in the country, was nominated for a number of awards (and even won a couple), and was voted one of the top 10 most influential blogs in the UK.

Since leaving Londonist in 2006, Rob has edited Yahoo UK News, and he helped launch and grow the user-generated reviews site Qype in the UK and across Europe.

Today Rob is a community strategist at TH_NK, where has worked on a variety of projects including the J.K. Rowling project, Pottermore.
