Digital Business Advisory

CREDO: If it's worth doing at all, then do it with passion

Welcome to my professional portfolio. I'm infinitely curious. I explore sources of wisdom in go-to-market (GTM) development within the Technology, Media, and Telecom marketplace -- because it's fascinating.

I'm very passionate about driving SaaS app adoption and growth. I envision software automation benefits from the perspective of a design focused on achieving practical digital business outcomes.

What's Here: You'll find examples from my Consulting Projects and research topics at prior employers where I demonstrate my Skills and Experience. I've outlined my ongoing Topics of Interest and shared my Book Reviews about digital growth strategy and open innovation partner ecosystems.
What's Notable: I'm an HBR Advisory Council research member, an OECD Forum contributor, a WSJ Opinion Leader for Dow Jones, a Reuters Research panelist, and a recognized leader at Thinkers360. I've been the managing editor of an award-winning Cisco Systems publication. I created the "Hybrid Cloud Journal" for Red Hat. I've authored Generative AI application editorials as a Google News Publisher, and designed keynote sessions for tech vendor events and industry conferences.

What's Next: I'm publishing market research commentary on LinkedIn, Medium, X, Pinterest and Instagram. I'm helping clients create a Business Value Narrative with GenAI Prompt Engineering and Prompt Design for SaaS applications within vendor Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams.

My Digital Lifescapes blog features market study summaries, my Digital Polymath magazine explores tech vendor market development, and my Business Technology Roundtable highlights enterprise research trends. GeoNetworker is my R&D project on knowledge transfer and expertise networks.
