On Tuesday this week I put in my notice to the new management team here at AE/CW Group. It's been one of the most difficult decisions of my life, as I've spent nine years building up AE and trying to make it the best that it could be in a market space strewn with pitfalls for affiliates, players and affiliate managers alike.

I wish you all the very best going forward. read more
