Graham Clifford Goodkind (born 18 January 1966)[citation needed] is an English businessman.
Early life and education
[edit]Goodkind was born on 18 January 1966[citation needed] in Dollis Hill, Willesden,[citation needed] to Derek Goodkind,[citation needed] a furrier and his wife Pessa.[citation needed] Goodkind is an only child.[citation needed] He was educated at the University College School, Hampstead[citation needed] and then graduated from the London Metropolitan University, where he read Business Studies and Marketing.[citation needed]
Career
[edit]After graduating, Goodkind took up the offer of work experience at Lynne Franks PR in December 1989.[citation needed]. He got a full-time job as a trainee account executive at Lynne Franks PR after a month and in seven years worked his way up to the position of managing director.[citation needed]
Goodkind subsequently left to set up an internet venture at the beginning of the dotcom boom called Funmail, later re-branded as another.com.[citation needed] It offered free web-based email with many domains. Initially planning on listing on the AIM,[1] the company instead accepted an offer instead from Eden, an investment company, to purchase a 20% stake for £6.5m, valuing the fledgling business at £31.25m.[2] Graham, together with one other founder, sold his stake in the company a year later, before the dotcom bubble burst.[citation needed]
In September 2000, Graham founded Frank PR.[3]
Graham is also a board member of Camden Town Unlimited,[4] a business improvement district in Camden.
