As a Director-level researcher at a Fortune 50 company, Kohs has seen it all in the fields of advertising and marketing communications.  As someone who is also very knowledgeable about wiki communities, he can present to your group or help you complete a news story with anything you ''really'' need to know about wikis, Wikipedia, and the Wikimedia Foundation. Observing Wikipedia and other wikis since 2005 through the lens of business ethics, he'll pull no punches and will draw aside the curtain to reveal the manipulative wiki wizards who hide behind it.  The story of MyWikiBiz was [http://www.bing.com/news/search?q=mywikibiz&go=Submit&qs=n&form=NWBQBN&pq=mywikibiz&sc=0-0&sp=-1&sk= broadly publicized] in over 150 mainstream media outlets, including the ''Washington Post'', ''USA Today'', ''MSNBC.com'', and the ''Chronicle of Higher Education'', as well as a [http://g4tv.com/attackoftheshow/theloop/63519/The-Loop-Can-Wikipedia-Be-Trusted.html television appearance] on the ''G4 TV'' network.  Harvard professor Jonathan Zittrain also extensively covered the MyWikiBiz phenomenon in his best-selling book, ''[http://yupnet.org/zittrain/archives/16#48 The Future of the Internet]'', and Kohs has spoken before Zittrain's class on Internet law at Harvard Law School.
