About Me

I enjoy searching for brilliant ideas and inspiring people to think and do differently. I have extensive experience in script and story development.

In the course of just over a decade, my company Critical Distance, has become a guild of writers. consultants and researchers who specialize in international trans-media strategies. Together, we work for companies who are serious about building authentic conversations in society. We closely follow market trends for consumer technologies.

More About Me

I'm passionate about

Using media to empower individuals in society. I believe that TED needs to do more with the concept of Ideas Worth Doing. It''s easy to be inspired. Far more difficult to drive out obsolete concepts

Talk to me about

- Strategic Thinking - Driving out old ideas and replacing them with practical, hybrid, alternatives.
- Project Management. Planning, doing, evaluating, pivoting.
- Building great stories to share.
