Director, Corporate Market Intelligence, IBM Corporation

Howard K. Seabrook

Howard has been with IPR since 2001, based in the UK, with a focus in the Opportunity Analysis and Forecasting practice. As one of our managing consultants, Howard is closely involved in ensuring the smooth running of our client’s projects by both organizing IPR’s resources and liaising with key client contacts. Prior to joining IPR, Howard was a VP and Service Director for Gartner’s Dataquest working on the European Computer Platforms markets.

The arrival of a departmental Apple IIe during an undergraduate degree at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne (1981 – 1984) was a fortuitous break, not only in helping with statistics assignments but in opening the way for his first job in the IT industry. After returning to education for an MBA at Durham University (1991 – 1992), Howard joined Toshiba Information Systems, in his first formal role with a planning and research remit.

Outside of IPR a lot of Howard’s time revolves around his family and linked activities, such as rugby coaching. But he does have a few private passions of his own; a Triumph motorbike, a small boat on the River Thames and an ever growing collection of old books. And as his children grow up some dormant interests are being rekindled, marked by a return to Europe’s less vertical ski slopes.
