Speaker Bio
I work at the intersection of media, technology, and storytelling — helping companies navigate what’s next without losing sight of what matters.
Most days, I’m translating the noise around AI into something useful — strategy, workflow, or a story that gets buy-in. I’ve spent my career in the guts of media technology — streaming platforms, archives, production pipelines — but I’m most at home building connective tissue: between people, between systems, between old ways of working and what’s coming next.
I help companies operationalize ideas — not just dream them up. That means architecting systems, aligning technology with business models, and helping teams move from concept to execution. I work with media companies, sports leagues, creative startups, and anyone trying to build something that lasts longer than a hype cycle.
I’m a connector by instinct. I see patterns — across industries, across workflows, across talent pools — and I love introducing the right people at the right time to make something happen.
At the heart of it, I’m guided by taste and cultural literacy. Technology moves fast. Culture moves weird. Knowing the difference — knowing what will matter in five years — is part gut, part experience, part human signal processing.
I share a lot of what I’m learning in Engines of Change, my Substack publication about media, AI, and storytelling futures. I host Future Frames, a podcast about media technology’s messy middle. And I advise early-stage startups and industry leaders who are trying to build better systems.
Long-term, I’m leaning harder into facilitating innovation — helping smart people incubate ideas, test business models, and bring new tools into the world. I’m building toward that future now.
