What's old is new again.
I have a habit of finding and solving meaningful problems across business, media and culture.
You know my cutting edge work from Twitter, Google, MTV News, CBS News and Vox Media. I also co-founded a nationally recognized indie fragrance brand on a mission to center analog culture.
For two decades, I’ve built my career at the intersection of media, technology, and consumer brands, with roles at Twitter, Google, Vox Media, CBS News, and MTV News. I've done this all while staying true to myself. Another time, ask me how.
In 2020, I co-founded The New Savant with former YouTube creator Ingrid Nilsen. Since then, we’ve built a soulful, deeply creative fragrance brand from the ground up—winning awards for olfactive achievements, earning above-average retention rates, and securing placement in a national retail store. Our obsessive focus on making fragrance more relatable has earned press in The New York Times, The Cut, Vogue, Business Insider, and more.
I also work within hit snooze consultancy, because more than tackling problems that can help humanity, I love to hit snooze.
Previously, I served as Executive Producer for Kara Swisher at Vox Media, where I oversaw her flagship shows Recode Decode and Pivot. During that time, I helped grow Pivot from a once-weekly show to twice weekly, and worked closely with Kara, Scott and the team to refine the segments and format that helped shape it into a defining forum for conversations about tech, media, and power.
At Google, I worked on a small, cross-company team addressing one of the platform’s most complex challenges: the evolving relationship between technology platforms and the news industry. As part of Google News Lab, I led global initiatives to combat misinformation and elevate high-quality journalism across Google’s product surfaces, collaborating with newsroom leaders and product teams across six continents.
Before that, I was at Twitter. As one of the company’s first 300 employees, I helped shape its early global news strategy—building tools for journalists, contributing to key acquisitions like TweetDeck, and co-founding the company’s internal LGBTQ+ employee group. And honestly, having a lot of fun along the way.
Earlier in my career, I worked with Katie Couric at CBS, who gave me a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help integrate Twitter into her reporting and newsroom workflow. Prior to that, I covered the 2008 presidential election for MTV News.
While covering the 2008 election for MTV News, I was also working full-time at Spectrum Science Communications, a public affairs firm in Washington, D.C. that took a chance on me and gave me my first job out of college.
I’m a Hoosier and former Little 500 cyclist who now calls Brooklyn home (where else?). Most days you’ll find me at the co-op, riding my single speed across the boroughs, or in the seats of whatever theater production I can get tickets to.
