Featured Experience:
GigaOM Pro
As a member of the founding team at GigaOM Pro, a disruptive market research service focused on emerging technologies, I worked with more than 100 analysts and journalists to craft insightful, engaging articles and reports on technology markets and issues. I wrote market analysis and research briefings, and took content items all the way from topic development to proofreading. I also developed relationships with data providers to get access for our analysts and clients.
Sustainable Industries
I helped launch a portfolio of business resource guides, published as quarterly supplements to Sustainable Industries, including research and writing for the three editions each of the Farming Sourcebook, Green Real Estate Guide, and Top 10 Green Building Products (2004-2008), as well as the first edition of the Green Office Handbook.
