I'm a technology journalist and communications consultant, published and broadcast by over 20 major media organisations including WIRED, MIT Technology Review, and BBC News.
As a journalist, I've reported stories about technology from across Europe, Ukraine, and Iraq, interviewing people-smuggling influencers, rocket-launching pastors, and the strongest man on Earth. I've also featured on national radio, discussing AI with Naga Munchetty on BBC Radio 5 Live and recording for BBC Radio 4’s legendary From Our Own Correspondent programme.
In communications, my strategic counsel helps disruptive tech companies to define their market positioning, appeal to investors, and attract custom with premium media coverage. I also help them to write and edit opinion articles, speeches, reports, and news commentary destined for publication in some of the world's most reputable media outlets.
I trained as a multimedia journalist at the UK’s #1 journalism school, News Associates, graduating with top honours in 2021. The Royal Geographical Society awarded me a fellowship the following year after I walked 450km solo across southern Iraq. Away from work, I practise freestyle wrestling.
