I speak from inside
the things I built.
I've been in the creator economy long enough to watch it rename itself twice: streaming at Hulu, social commerce at a company Facebook bought, now AI and creator IP. Every talk comes from something I built, sold or had to fix.
Pick a talk. I'll bring the rest.
Three talks I can give tomorrow, shaped to your room and your run of show.
Your AI Strategy Is Probably Theater
Most organizations have an AI strategy that's really a press release.

The Media Cycle No One Believes Is a Cycle
Every wave looks like a revolution from the inside, until you've lived through three of them.
Keynote, 45 to 60 minutes. For media and technology executives, strategy teams, and industry conferences.
Why Some Creators Break Through and Most Don't

How I show up.
The best panel in the program is usually the one someone ran properly.
Most panels fail the same way: four smart people take turns giving prepared answers and nobody disagrees out loud. I've hosted 150+ recorded conversations, including 50-plus VidCon interviews on Meta's Super and 100-plus episodes of Building Value, plus internal Meta events up to the Games Day broadcast. When I've done the job well, the room remembers the panelists.
If you've got a session that matters and nobody obvious to hold it, that's the one to call me about.
Favorite Tech
A multi-guest segment with one of tech's biggest YouTubers and his team, keeping four people moving, funny and on point.

Quick questions, real answers, and a room that stays with you.
Tell me about your event.
Tell me who's in the audience and what you want them walking out believing, and I'll tell you fast whether I'm the right fit. I live twenty minutes from the Palais des Festivals, so MIPCOM, MIPTV and Cannes Lions are local. For the rest of Europe and North America, I travel.
