Editorial Leader / Head of Content
I'm a seasoned (30+ year), award-winning, content and media innovator and master implementor suited to a digital leadership role (VP Digital, editorial director, etc.) in a journalistic organization, a branded-content/owned-media/content-marketing practice, or an online commerce group •Who can lead, design and execute a content plan that strikes the right balance between the target audience’s need for information/entertainment/education and the business needs of the publishing organization •Who simultaneously excels as an individual blogger/journalist/content-creator working in any medium (text, still images, audio, and video) • A bona-fide news junkie who spends a disproportionate amount of his spare time drinking from the daily news firehose (and then bemoaning today's state of reported news). • With a long history of experience leading media organizations of virtually any size (from dozens to hundreds) •Whose editorial specialties and background include enterprise IT, mobile computing, unified (IP-based) communications/collaboration, open standards & open source, technology IP & anti-trust, and software development, but whose adaptability and acumen makes him pliable to almost any media category or vertical. •Whose operational background and keen understanding of the latest digital innovations make him a key contributor to the specification and development of successful, scalable online publishing infrastructures and user experiences that are closely aligned with business and content strategies. •With an extensive editorial history & rolodex that affords him access to the right contacts at the right time •Who founded and led a string of successful event/conference launches including APIcon, Cloud Connect, Mashup Camp and Startup Camp •Skilled public speaker and spokesperson who has made appearances at many conferences and media channels including NPR, CNN, the Charlie Rose Show, BBC, CNBC, etc.
