I am the executive editor of VentureBeat.
I have worked at four content startups (including this one) and several established national magazines, covering technology, business, and science.
At VentureBeat, my job is to lead the news team, hire outstanding talent, set ambitious goals for them, and get out of their way, so we can build VentureBeat into the most amazing, reliable, online news magazine for business and technology.
Previously, I was senior editor at Wired.com, where I was responsible for the site’s gadget news and product reviews from 2008 to 2011, and launched the site’s business coverage in 2007. In the past, I also worked as a pizza delivery man, door-to-door environmental activist, English teacher, and weed whacker.

Disclosures: I stand behind everything in VentureBeat’s ethics statement. I hold no individual stocks, and my few investments are in index funds that I mostly ignore (it’s too painful otherwise). Over the years, I’ve been the recipient of many T-shirts, coffee mugs, squishy balls, and ballpoint pens from companies whose names I’ve now forgotten. In my former life as gadget reviewer, I used a lot of electronics equipment that was sent to me on loan, but I sent almost everything back, and what didn’t get returned I donated — and that is still my policy.
