Marco Ranon, Senior Web Accessibility Consultant, RNIB

I started to be interested in Web Accessibility in 2000, at the end of my studies at university, and I worked for a company developing an automated tool for accessibility testing. Before joining RNIB, I worked for a software testing company, as a tester and project manager. After four years, in October 2007, I left the company and I kept working as a freelance Web Accessibility consultant.

I've joined RNIB in June 2008, where besides having the opportunity to improve my knowledge in this field, I believe I can use my experience and capabilities in order to be actively part of a process aimed to improve the quality of life of blind and partially sighted people, as I strongly believe that Internet is a powerful media and it should be accessible to everybody.
