I love sharing my experiences and knowledge with the community, whether it’s through speaking, writing, or chatting on a podcast.
This is a curated collection of my recent public work. While I frequently speak at internal customer events, executive briefings, and workshops that can’t be shared here, these are some of the highlights I can talk about! If you’re looking for something specific or want to chat about a private event, just reach out.
