    Who, me?

    I've spent the past 20 years leading multi-stakeholder systems-change efforts across sectors, including directing the Public Technology Leadership Collaborative and Disinformation Action Lab at Data & Society, and the Center for Digital Development at USAID.

    Now, I coach and advise leaders across the private sector, government, nonprofits, and philanthropy on how to align technology with their vision of the future, find clarity in complexity, and facilitate change — in their system, and in themselves.

    What will you learn?

    Every Sunday, I help you see what the hype hides—the people, relationships, incentives, and power dynamics shaping (and being shaped by!) new technologies. Along the way, you’ll get tools to make sense of emerging tech, navigate uncertainty, and facilitate real systems change.
