Spent 32 years at Business Wire, where I rose to become president in 2009. After leaving in 2017, I founded News Direct, which was designed to disrupt the decades old newswire model using state-of-the-art digital technology, including a custom-built software platform housed in the AWS cloud. The result is a fully-automated, more efficient, more secure and more flexible news and content distribution platform that serves the modern needs of 21st Century communications pros.
