About

I'm a technology reporter with almost 30 years of experience, much of it covering the enterprise. These days, I run the FastForward blog and newsletter, a publication I conceived and built from the ground up. The publications cover analysis on emerging technologies, digital transformation strategies and industry challenges through commentary, features, executive profiles and in-depth coverage of news that impacts enterprise tech decision makers. Until recently I was editorial director at boldstart, a first check, enterprise-focused venture capture firm. Prior to that, I spent a decade at TechCrunch covering the intersection of enterprise startups and larger more established public companies through news, features, profiles and in-depth analysis of the news. In addition to reporting and writing, I moderated panels at dozens of events including TechCrunch Disrupt, Web Summit, Collision, and many others. Previously I was editor at FierceContentManagement, contributing editor at EContent Magazine, contributor at CITEworld and blogger for Internet Evolution and TechTarget. Other writing credits include InsideCRM, Streaming Media Magazine, CIO.com, eWeek, CMP, PC Magazine Online and many others.
