About

You built something the world isn’t ready for.

But the market doesn’t know why they should care.

I help AI companies, frontier technology startups, and enterprise organizations transform complex innovations into products customers, developers, investors, analysts, policymakers, and the public understand, trust, and adopt.

I bridge the gap between engineering and the market—turning technology into business outcomes through Go-to-Market (GTM) Strategy, Narrative Strategy, Messaging & Positioning, Executive Storytelling, Product Marketing, Thought Leadership, and Enterprise AI Communications.

I explain the future before it arrives—so you can stop talking about how it’s built and start communicating why it matters.

I learned how to explain complex technology as a child.

My father was a patent attorney, chemical engineer, and co-inventor of unleaded gasoline.

His clients brought him inventions that sounded impossible.

After dinner, he would dissect their ideas—why they would succeed, why they would fail, and how to explain them.

I spent my childhood sitting in pitch meetings.

Today, translating breakthrough technology is as natural as breathing.

For more than 40 years, I’ve helped engineers, scientists, founders, researchers, and CEOs explain innovations that were years ahead of their markets—and tell the story they are often too close to see themselves.

Working across five technology waves—from the birth of the PC, through the Internet, email, mobile, cloud, and now AI—has given me long-range pattern recognition that few communicators possess.

I recognize the recurring adoption challenges every disruptive technology faces and build the messaging, positioning, customer narratives, and GTM strategy that accelerate market understanding and adoption.

Long before they became mainstream, I helped introduce:

• Color inkjet printing when the world printed in black and white

• Email when almost nobody had heard of it

• SaaS when software still arrived on floppy disks

• MP3 music players when CDs dominated

• One of the earliest conversational AI systems—decades before ChatGPT

• Streaming movies when video was the size of a postage stamp

• Autonomous vehicles before Waymo

• Space robotics before commercial space exploration

Every transformational technology begins the same way.

Too complicated.

Too weird.

Too expensive.

Too risky.

Too early.

I’ve spent my career helping organizations overcome that moment.

Because products don’t change industries.

Stories do.

Technology creates possibilities.

Narratives create adoption.

Throughout my career I’ve partnered with leadership teams to develop Go-to-Market strategy, product positioning, executive messaging, enterprise customer stories, thought leadership, analyst narratives, keynote presentations, funding decks, launch campaigns, and strategic communications that supported funding, acquisitions, enterprise growth, and IPOs.

My work has intersected with organizations including Apple, Google, Microsoft, HP, Adobe, Intel, IBM, Salesforce, Cisco, Sun Microsystems, Xerox PARC, Motorola, McAfee, NASA, SpaceX, Accenture, Founder Institute, and leading venture investors including Vinod Khosla, DFJ, Steve Blank, Dr. Suhas Patil, Gateway VC, and Founder Capital.

Today my focus is helping AI companies navigate the next challenge:

Building trust.

The AI industry is advancing faster than organizations can reorganize around it. Customers don’t buy models—they buy outcomes. Success increasingly depends on AI Product Marketing, GTM Narrative Strategy, Messaging & Positioning, Enterprise AI Adoption, Strategic Communications, and Executive Storytelling that connects technical innovation to measurable business value.

I also mentor founders through Founder Institute’s AI program, helping the next generation of entrepreneurs communicate technologies that will shape the future.

If you’re building frontier technology and need someone who can connect engineering, product, sales, marketing, executives, analysts, investors, and customers around one compelling narrative—we should talk.

But the market—the press, the customer, the user — doesn’t know why they should care. Yet.

That’s not a technology problem. It’s a story problem.

I help you explain the future before it arrives.

---

I help you transition from “how it’s built” to “why it matters.”

From features to benefits.

From confusion to absolute clarity.

HOW I LEARNED THIS

I learned it at my dad’s dinner table. He was a patent attorney, chemical engineer, and co-inventor of unleaded gasoline.

His clients were inventors with wild, ideas that were impossible to explain.

After dinner, we would dissect inventions in simple words, mapping out how they could succeed.

A childhood in labs, pitch meetings, and the US patent office gave me a lens.

Today, I help technical leaders find the narrative they are too close to see.

FIVE WAVES OF TECHNOLOGY

Working inside all five technology waves—from the birth of the PC and email through the internet, mobile, cloud/SaaS, and now AI—gives me long-range pattern recognition to explain what’s next.

The innovations I was lucky to support were initially feared or dismissed as impossible.

Today, they are so common that nobody thinks twice about them.

I’ve partnered with fast-moving startups and Fortune 500 leaders to drive narratives that led to funding, acquisitions, and IPOs.

PIONEERS & PARTNERS:

Apple, Google, Microsoft, HP, McAfee, Adobe, Sun, Xerox PARC, Salesforce, Cisco, NASA, IBM, Intel, Motorola, and Accenture.

VENTURE: Vinod Khosla, DFJ, Steve Blank, and Suhas Patil.

People must understand what it is, why it matters, and where it fits into their lives.

The best innovations deserve the best stories. Let’s tell yours.
