Twenty+ years across business, technology, and public policy. I've built and sold companies, advised governments, testified before regulators, and had a seat in the rooms where the real decisions get made. This is where I share my take on things I find interesting.
My career has spanned the evolution of the consumer internet. I've worked with the biggest companies in tech, from Apple to Zynga. Employee, founder, adviser, industry body director — I built a global advisory firm and exited it. I've testified before regulators on four continents. Now at k-ID, building age-aware internet infrastructure backed by Andreessen Horowitz.
