Experienced Marketing and Product Exec / Award-Winning Author and Writer / Father, Coach, Surfer, Reluctant Futurist

I write books about technology, the future and how rapid changes will impact businesses and society. I also enjoy conceiving and developing products. I often work with teams (from early stage to late stage) as C-level consultant for product marketing and marketing (strategic/tactical). I am equally comfortable marketing to consumers and developers/technologists, having worked in both worlds often. I am a regular contributor to Fortune, Foreign Policy and other publications, My early career was in journalism at top-level publications like Bloomberg BusinessWeek. I also dabble in code (I'm learning and enjoy coding). I do corporate innovation consulting for companies seeking to understand exponential technologies and map the impact onto their business and their employees. 

I have worked to help grow communities and products around a number of important areas including Node.js, Servo/Rust, Mozilla Firefox, and the broad Open Data movement.
