Focus Statement

As a pioneering executive in interactive media and voice technology, I’ve dedicated my career to transforming digital storytelling. At Earplay, where I served as Co-founder and CEO for over a decade, I spearheaded the development of innovative interactive audio experiences, establishing industry-defining standards in conversational design during the voice assistant revolution.

My work has consistently pushed the boundaries of interactive storytelling through strategic partnerships with technology leaders like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Bose, and media giants including Disney, NBCUniversal, A+E, NPR (WBUR/WGBH), Prime Video, Fox, HBO, Nickelodeon, and LucasArts. These collaborations have helped shape the future of interactive digital entertainment while demonstrating my ability to lead the way in global brand innovations.

I’ve successfully built and led high-performing teams to develop pipelines and platforms that enable creators to build compelling interactive experiences. My expertise in this area spans product development, team leadership, interactive narrative design, and conversational design, earning recognition as Digital Book Award’s Voice Developer of the Year, Alexa Developer of the Year, and consistent ranking among top voice product and design professionals by Voicebot.

Throughout my career, I’ve combined creative leadership with technical innovation to deliver award-winning experiences for brands, agencies, and production studios. My approach centers on empowering creators while delivering exceptional user experiences. This creative and brand work in games and interactive media has earned numerous accolades, including Webby, Shorty, Marketing Dive, and Digiday Awards.

Looking ahead, I remain committed to advancing interactive media, technology, and AI, and I’m eager to connect with fellow innovators who share a vision for pushing the boundaries of digital interactivity.
