My gift is in seeing the next big technology-driven waves approaching and in designing and developing products and services to dramatically leverage those opportunities. I have a deep technology and systems background originating from the MIT Media Lab, in addition to a wide range of entrepreneurial experience across a number of verticals including: social and knowledge networking, advertising, marketing and promotion, music, automotive, crypto, AI. I marry a strategic perspective with the detailed technical and business execution understanding needed to actually drive a vision through to success. I have a deep interest in Artificial and Social Intelligence, specifically applying technology to complement & amplify (vs replace) human capabilities.

Questions I am interested in: How can we facilitate discovery and adoption of products & services that will most materially improve our lives & well-being? How can technology drive radical improvement in decision-making and governance in the individual, business, and governmental spheres? How can local groups and tribes interconnect and coordinate to achieve scale, relevance, and results in advancing humanity on the global stage?
