About
I help organizations and individuals influence the understanding of complex issues through concise and compelling communications.
I create and deliver high-visibility awareness campaigns about enterprise technologies from Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud to Quantum Computing and Blockchain. My work focuses on distilling how science and technology intersect with business to improve society — particularly within regulated industries such as health care, financial services, the public sector, and energy verticals.
I’m a curious thinker who uses creativity and grit to reach audiences at scale, including media, niche communities within industry verticals, academia, legislators, and mainstream consumers.
Through my work, I’ve enabled organizations and individuals to establish, grow, and protect reputations. And I’ve learned that the complex doesn’t require more complexity.
In fact, just the opposite.
