I'm a journalist, editor, and team builder who has spent more than two decades helping people understand the technologies shaping our future. From the rise of the internet to the emergence of AI, my work has been guided by a simple belief: technology should elevate humanity by expanding opportunity, strengthening communities, and helping people lead more meaningful lives.
Throughout my career, I've led the transformation of global media brands, building high-performing editorial teams and helping organizations reinvent how they serve their audiences in times of profound technological change. Whether I'm leading a newsroom, interviewing innovators, writing, or speaking publicly, my goal is the same: to help people understand not just what's changing, but why it matters.

Book: Follow the Geeks
In 2016, I co-authored Follow the Geeks, a book that profiled 10 digital innovators and how they forged a new path for the future of work. These 10 were part of the generation that paved the way for the influencer economy that continues to sweep through media and marketing today. The project itself was also an experiment to re-imagine books for the digital age by combining the power of crowdfunding and serial publishing.
