A global citizen at heart, wherever in the world I might be at the moment, you'll most often find me at that intersection of technology and culture where game changers are gathering, holding animated discussions, and igniting initiatives for positive change.

My expertise is multi-sector, spanning the realms of strategy, innovation, technology, communications, entrepreneurship, collaboration and design. I've been called an “ecosystem architect”; I call myself a recovering futurist. ;)

I'm best at taking the complex and distinguishing it from the complicated; prioritizing context over content; and laser focus on the essence and heart of whatever is being envisioned, designed, offered, delivered and communicated.

I love convening changemakers and movement leaders, questioning our assumptions, exploring new standards, elevating the conversation as a whole and connecting the cross-cultural dots.

My stock in trade is bringing dreams into focus, and from there into reality. Clarifying story and messaging around a resonant core purpose is a particular strong suit.

I've been fortunate to be at the forefront of several waves of social and business change, including the advent of the World Wide Web, global social enterprise, the crypto and blockchain innovations, integral medicine/holistic health, and the Cultural Creative wave that's currently uniting responsible ecological stewardship with prosperity, creativity, human potential and wellbeing.

Language is my playground; I'm a born communicator. As a geek, yes, I'm technical. Design-wise, I love to reframe and reinvent. I'm also a capable facilitator and host, equally at home behind the screen for a webinar, onstage moderating a panel, or in the room supporting a conversation, meeting, workshop or training.

I'm passionate about lifelong learning and education in its original, most soulful sense; for me it's all about cultivating the kinds of frameworks that draw forth our innate genius, and nurture more positive, life-affirming ways of being. And being together.

One of the original digital nomads, I'm most often based in beautiful Australasia, but I might be anywhere just at the moment.

I welcome open-minded, open-hearted conversation. :)
