Independent analysis on AI, media, technology, and institutional change.

I help leadership teams, media organizations, and institutions make sense of those shifts — and act on them. The on-air analysis and reporting are where that thinking gets pressure-tested in public.

More than two decades of reporting, editorial leadership, and hands-on technical work inform the same judgment I bring to advisory engagements.

What I help leaders work through.

Four areas where I'm most often brought in.

AI & Information Systems

I help organizations figure out where AI actually belongs in their information, editorial, and decision-making workflows — and how to adopt it without eroding the trust they depend on.

Media & Business Models

I help publishers and information businesses pressure-test where their audience, subscription, and platform strategy holds up commercially — and where it's quietly drifting — so they can decide what to change.

Technology & Institutional Change

I help leadership teams adapt operationally and culturally when technology moves faster than their language, workflows, and public explanation can keep up.

Editorial Strategy, Storytelling & Trust

I help executives and institutions sharpen editorial strategy, narrative, and credibility — and design the workflows behind them — in environments where the cost of getting it wrong keeps rising.
