About

I created the Cloud Wars Top 10, a ranking and ongoing analysis world's most-influential cloud and AI companies driving business innovation and growth in the AI Economy. I’ve analyzed the enterprise-tech business for more than 30 years, including 5 years as Chief Communications Officer at Oracle, reporting to Larry Ellison. I've given keynote talks on every continent (except Antarctica, which is okay), and published thousands of videos and articles on business transformation, business strategy, innovation, competitive positioning, customer intimacy, leadership, and more.

It all began with the Cloud Wars Top 10 rankings, a weekly list that I would put together and share along with commentary on the enterprise-cloud industry, usually on Forbes.com. As the series picked up steam, I decided to launch a full media platform around the Cloud Wars brand. We have since expanded into email newsletters, a podcast, and more, reaching hundreds of thousands of people each month.
