Bio
I am a long-time innovator and currently the VP of Innovation and Partnership Success on Jetpack for Automattic. I am the author of Web Designers Guide to WordPress and a member of the New Riders, “Voices that Matter” series, and I’ve been a frequent writer for notable publications like Smashing Magazine, CreativeBloq, Search Engine Journal, Jetpack, and more.
In my time, I’ve written several books, taught 100’s of students as a professor, and organized dozens of local meetups along with a few WordCamps. I’ve spoken at events around the world and I’ve consulted for dozens of businesses from small agencies to billion-dollar international companies
