I am the founder of Tweney Media, a content agency that helps companies communicate through blog posts, online magazines, podcasts, video, and more.

I'm also the former editor-in-chief of VentureBeat, a former Wired editor, and an award-winning tech journalist.

At VentureBeat, I managed a global news team of more than a dozen staff journalists and countless freelancers from 2011-2015. During that period, the editorial staff doubled, while the site’s audience grew 433%, from 1.5 million to 6.5 million monthly visitors.

I continue to write the site’s “Dylan’s Desk” column, which is a weekly series on Silicon Valley, the tech industry, and the impact of technology on business strategy.

Previously, I was a senior editor at Wired, leading the publication’s gadget and business blogs and, briefly, its science blog. The Gadget Lab blog grew its traffic 10x during the three years I ran it, making it the site's most successful blog. I also launched the popular podcast/weekly video show, "The Gadget Lab Podcast," which continues to this day.

Prior to Wired, I worked at three different content startups and wrote widely read columns for national magazines Business 2.0 and InfoWorld.
