Senior Fellow at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace

I have spent the last twenty-five years working in government and the private sector to accelerate the development, deployment, and application of Internet technologies. A large part of my job has always been explaining Internet technology and applications in clear, concise, non-technical terms to decision-makers in government and the corporate sector and to the press and the general public. I believe that the main barriers to Digital Transformation are not technological, they are cultural and political, so it is imperative that a broad cross-section of society--in the US and worldwide--understand and appreciate the opportunities offered by the Internet and emerging technologies.
