Life at FGS Global
Leads a global team responsible for the firm's AI, data, insights and software strategy, governance and comms-tech stack creation and implementation across our practice groups. We also consult with clients on comms-tech strategy and train associates on communications engineering skills.
Life Pre-FGS Global
Founded PRophet in 2019, the industry's first AI-powered comms-tech SaaS and services platform, now the third largest in the world.
Prior to that I founded a global strategy and reputation firm, KWT Global (f/k/a Kwittken), acquired by Stagwell (f/k/a MD Partners) in 2010.
Life Beyond FGS Global
I am a crazy endurance sports enthusiast. A marathoner, distance-swimmer and 5X IRONMAN triathlete.
I am a volunteer firefighter in backcountry Greenwich, and past president of my synagogue.
More importantly, I'm a proud Dad of two cool humans and three dogs - two elder doodles and a rescue pup.
