Bio

As Director of Industry Strategy and Partner Marketing at Alation I work closely with customers and partners to help them bring data intelligence and data culture to their organizations and realize the value of data in their industries. I'm also an advisor to MESA Alliance and the Bronx Digital Equity Coalition. Previously, as strategic advisor to UCBOS, GitHub and other clients I developed messaging, content and enterprise strategy. As Chief Strategy Officer for Media and Manufacturing at MarkLogic, I worked with customers including Chevron, Boeing, Eaton, LexisNexis, Warner Bros., BBC and Pearson to enable them to make the most of their data. Before MarkLogic, I worked with Sony Music creating community, identity and content delivery applications and reviewed investment opportunities for Sony Music's venture arm. Before that, I was at PC World magazine where I developed some of the industry's first XML based publishing systems. Focusing on the intersection of technology and business, I've spoken at EDM Council DataVision, Snowflake Financial Serviced Data Summit, Hollywood IT Summit, Berlin Industry of Things World, Smart Hollywood Summit, Standards Technology and Business Forum, MESA Smart Content, Publisher's Forum, STM Innovations, Henry Stewart DAM, PubExpo and SIIA conferences and have been published in the MESA M&E Journal and Publishing Research Quarterly.
