My more than 20 years of experience addressing audiences of all sizes includes more than a dozen keynote presentations at major technology conferences and roles of moderator, session speaker and panelist at scores of technology events.
I was instrumental in launching the conference business at TechTarget and was the primary host for more than 15 of their events. While interviewing many top industry executives on stage, I earned a reputation for asking probing questions while skillfully managing interactions between speakers and the audience. For seven years, I consulted on Cisco’s CIO events, designing the program, briefing speakers, and conducting hundreds of in-depth interviews with CIO delegates.
I also have extensive experience as a webcast designer and moderator and have recorded and produced over 300 podcast episodes.
If your event could benefit from a moderator, coach and program designer with a track record of success and a portfolio of positive recommendations, contact me.
