VP Technology & Marketing, MatchPoint

Marketer and builder. I make technology that brings people closer together.

I've spent 25 years in marketing and technology, mostly in B2B SaaS. Right now I'm leading product and marketing at MatchPoint, where we use AI to help people make real connections at live events. Before that, I spent more than a decade in the community platform space, and wrote a book along the way — The Accidental Community Manager.

Outside of work, I build things, write when I have something worth saying, and watch way too much baseball. I also collect stamps, trading cards, comics, and Pez dispensers — and play way too much Magic: The Gathering. But that's a whole other conversation.

Current focus

Selected

A few things I've built or am building — there's more where this came from.

Speyer UI System (SUI)

Accessibility-first design system for modern web apps (light/dark, no build tools).

MatchPoint

AI-powered networking built to make in-person events feel more useful and more human.

Newsletter

Community, AI, marketing, and the things I'm learning along the way. Updated when I have something worth sharing.

The Accidental Community Manager

A practical guide to building and running B2B communities — still relevant even as the world shifts back to in-person.

Background

Discreet by design. If you know, you know.
