What I Have Written

Deloitte

In partnership with Deloitte Consulting Human Capital Research & Sensing, I wrote a research paper on the changing nature of organizational culture, and the influence of this on business.

Harvard Kennedy School

I like teaching and data. Sometimes I combine the two and it leads to a blog post for the Data-Smart City Solutions work at Harvard. For two years, I worked with Stephen Goldsmith (former Mayor of Indianapolis) on his course “Urban Innovation: Using Technology to Drive Change”. You can learn a little about what I did.

Basic Boston

BASIC (Building a Sustainable Investment Community) connects sustainable, responsible, and impact investment professionals. I write about the cellphone, and how this piece of technology is disrupting the financial sector.

The Citizen

I provide personal and professional advice to those seeking the opinions of a stranger. Sometimes helpful, sometimes insightful, yet usually humorous, my thoughts and opinions are for you to enjoy.
