David Gurteen is definitely one the friendliest KMers I have met so far. He is funny, lively and shares a lot from his experiences. In his short visit to KL, he not only gave lecture to a university but also met 5 of us for a 4-hr long Saturday evening (11 August) talk at Starbucks. Those who didn’t come, I have only one thing to say- you missed the evening!

David developed his Gurteen Knowledge site in late 90’s (1999). When asked what inspired him to create that site, he said, “I always wanted to have a site and was collecting 2/3 databases of people’s information. Then I thought why not create a web space where I can park all these info and some people will find it useful. So, I developed it in early 1999 using Lotus applications”.
