I am a business leader with experience in media, tech, and consulting. I thrive when confronted with challenging, let’s-do-this-smarter opportunities and I love few things more than focusing a company or a team on its core mission. Thanks to circumstances, disposition, or some combination of the two, I also happen to have a lot of experience managing challenging stakeholders with disparate interests.

I joined MIT Technology Review in late 2015, taking on the role of CEO and publisher in mid-2017.

It was clear to me then - and it remains so today - that MIT Technology Review was ideally positioned to become the leading tech publisher. Why? Because of a legacy dating back to the very origins of the company, in 1899. Through early industrialization, two world wars, the space race; and into the computer age and the software revolution - MIT Technology Review was there, telling the stories of how innovation was changing the world. It has been a dispatch from the heart of the world’s greatest research university, where the future is discovered.

But it was also clear to me in 2015 that MIT Technology Review was underdeveloped as a business; it needed care and feeding.

My team has led the business through massive transformation over the past several years. Today, from our previous position as a respected but niche print magazine, we have become a widely read, multi-platform, digital-first media organization with operations and reach spanning the globe. 

Before joining MIT Technology Review, I held senior executive roles at The Economist Group (based in London), where my leadership stretched across business lines and included mergers and acquisitions; editorial and product creation and modernization; sales; marketing; and events. Earlier in my career, I worked as a consultant advising technology firms on market entry and international expansion.

I’ve got an executive MBA from the London Business School, which I earned while working full time for The Economist Group (that was a lot), an MSc from the London School of Economics, and a bachelor’s degree from Swarthmore College.

I have two children who are out in the world (more or less), spreading their good sense and kindness and reminding me what’s most important.
