Summary
Fergus Meiklejohn is a director and product-minded technologist who has spent 20+ years blending creative storytelling, philosophy, and hands-on engineering to build impactful products and marketing systems. Trained as a philosopher, he approaches problems from first principles—whether designing database schemas, scripting automated data pipelines, or shaping GTM strategies—and teaches himself the technical skills needed to execute. He led global content and influencer programs that converted 200+ partners from a 2000+ target list and built a production marketing database and ETL stack from scratch. Comfortable translating between engineers and nontechnical stakeholders, Fergus has moved fluidly between roles as filmmaker, front-end engineer, product manager, and head of content. Based in Taipei, he’s now focused on AI ethics and safety, seeking long-term product work that marries philosophical rigor with engineering practice. An unusually pragmatic thinker, he deliberately chooses “impossible” projects and delivers tangible, cross-functional results.
