I have over 30 years experience in marketing, business development and corporate strategy with large tech companies and startups, have raised money on Wall Street and worked as a journalist. My passions are trending and forecasting new technologies and mapping them to customer needs, helping my clients beat competitors to market with innovative solutions and services, building communities that connect people in ways not possible before and stretching to reach new goals.
