Expertise
GTM Comms for Dev Founders
I help technical founders turn what their team is already building into a story that investors, partners, and early customers can follow. I set up the workflow, decide with them what to share and when, and edit the raw build into demos, clips, and a regular show, so the audience and investor-ready material grow alongside the product.
Intellectual Client Engagement
Strong content positions your company as a trusted voice in your field. Together we’ll translate your expertise into clear, compelling stories that deepen relationships with key audiences and support your business goals.
Emerging Tech Workflows
Emerging tools only matter if they work in real life. I design practical workflows that use AI, blockchain, and clear communication to improve collaboration, simplify processes, and bring innovation into everyday operations.
Journalism Experiments
Newsrooms need to evolve without losing their core mission. I help teams test AI and blockchain in ways that protect sources, strengthen reporting, and modernize data workflows—while staying grounded in editorial priorities.
