I tell stories and make arguments. I listen. I iterate. I close.

I am a passionate advocate for social entrepreneurship and cultural change.

Thought Leadership: As a ghostwriter and speechwriter, I work closely with key influencers, C-suite executives, and policymakers to tell their stories.

Secret Sauce: I am often retained on the eve of paradigm shifts, for game-changing moments. A recent example of such an engagement was the introduction of the New York Times paywall. I specialize in "Future Of" speeches. I interrogate the state of a field and then offer a vision for what might be up next in education, social justice, media, technology, and healthcare.

Brand Building: As a strategist, I help brands launch groundbreaking products, and campaigns incubate and disseminate new ideas. I developed key messaging for the national launch of a 2013 anti-bigotry campaign; the release of financial products to help the nation's 40 million "underbanked" achieve economic security; and the incubation of a technology accelerator.

Select Clients: The New York Times. IBM. The M.I.T. Press. Sunny Bates Associates. The Huffington Post. Conde Nast. Museum of Sex. Barnes & Noble. eBay. GLAAD. ESPN. Bloomberg BusinessWeek. SAP. IndiePix Films.

Will Work For: I am always seeking an opportunity to grow, be challenged, and make a meaningful contribution.
