The Story
The journey began in the early dot-com days at Disney, building digital communities before abc.com even existed. We were making it up as we went—trying new things, learning from what worked and what didn't, figuring out how to translate television magic into digital experiences. That spirit of experimentation became my North Star.
I am motivated by no. I dare you to tell me it can't be done.
For 25+ years, I've operated at the intersection of data, technology, media & entertainment—being a change agent who transforms existing businesses and builds new ones from scratch. From those early digital communities to launching ABC.com's first profitable product, to convincing mobile carriers to share data they swore they'd never share, to building AWS Data Exchange's AI/ML data partnership ecosystem—I thrive where industries collide with emerging technologies and new business models are born.
I've been incredibly fortunate to work alongside brilliant colleagues and visionary partners—from Disney and Fox to Nielsen and Amazon. These weren't solo victories; they were collaborative innovations built with teams who believed in doing things differently. Every breakthrough partnership taught me that transformation happens when you bring together the right data, technology, content, and people willing to experiment together.
What drives me is building new businesses and transforming old ones at the intersection of data, technology, and entertainment. Give me a legacy media company that needs digital transformation (Billboard, Disney), a mobile industry that's never shared data (Nielsen), a quick-service restaurant navigating decline (Subway), or a cloud platform launching a data marketplace (AWS)—and I'll dive deep, understand all sides, and architect partnerships that create entirely new value streams.
