Podcast Host, Unthinkable | Author, Speaker, Tinkerer
I host the podcast Unthinkable, write the weekly newsletter Playing Favorites, and develop podcasts and docuseries for mission-driven brands, authors, and entrepreneurs. I'm also a frequent keynote speaker, and the author of the book Break the Wheel.
It is my personal, professional mission to help others make work that matters -- to their careers, their companies, and their communities.
I see creativity as a form of problem solving and leadership. It's a means of raising your hand to lead and investigate and improve things, and I want to help others frame their work as such. That can help us see the work and the world better and differently.
Before becoming a content entrepreneur, I held marketing and media roles at Google, HubSpot, and the VC firm NextView.
My biggest ambition and maybe grandest delusion is to be the Anthony Bourdain of business storytelling :)

Equipping business leaders for digital change at Beyond Binary | Global speaker & advisor on digital transformation | Co-founder of social media crisis consultancy 48H | Host of the One-Eyed Man podcast
The fear of becoming irrelevant in a rapidly changing and complex digital world is common among business leaders. I help C-Suite leaders to unpack technological disruption, gear up for digital and cultural transformation, and develop the leadership skills and strategies they need to navigate uncharted territory. I provide tools to equip them to combat irrelevance and develop adaptability.
I work with clients to unpack both technological disruption (digital transformation) and people enablement (cultural transformation) to position themselves for success and sustainability and do this in the form of keynote presentations, workshops, coaching, facilitation and consulting.
More about me:
• I am a seasoned communications and consulting professional with experience in enabling businesses to adapt and disrupt the industries in which they operate.
• I serve as a disruption and innovation adviser on corporate boards.
• As a sought-after global speaker, I have spoken at more than 400 events and conferences on four continents mainly focusing on digital transformation, innovation, disruption and leadership.
