Happy to meet you! I’m particularly interested in future-focused technologies that have the potential to deeply change society through new markets and new products. That same interest previously brought me first to Google, where I worked on mobile partnership products, and later to the US Federal Communications Commission, where I helped craft modern public policy rules for the future of the Internet. I can usually be found in the science fiction section of my local bookstore. Email me with your favorite book recommendations!

“What’s the difference between your operation and a restaurant?” I ask Steve. “So, in a restaurant, they’ve got the same menu for a month. And their dishes don’t change. Say, for example, you’ve got a chicken dish with tomato. They just continuously top up their preparation. They never waste it. They never throw it away… […]

What you immediately realise upon speaking to Hayley Simmons, Oxford Saïd’s Reception Supervisor, is that you are in the presence of an uncommonly decent human being. When I sat down with Hayley for an interview, the very first thing she told me was an astonishing tale of courage in crisis that highlighted one of her […]

In the weekend before the beginning of school, I’ve found myself with a couple days of leisure. I can’t get my university card until next week, so I can’t go exploring the libraries and college grounds yet. I’ve got most of my household items set up, with others on their way. I don’t have any […]
