I caught the technology bug in the mid-90s, back when it was called the “Information Superhighway.” My career in tech began at MCI, the telecommunications giant. After earning my MBA at UC-Berkeley in 1998, I dove headfirst into the heart of the dot-com boom. The first startup I joined was acquired for over $3 billion at the peak of the bubble.
Since then, I’ve spent my career at a wide range of technology companies — from tiny startups to multi-national companies. I’ve been a founder (three times). I’ve been a C-level executive. I’ve been an investor. Some have succeeded. Many have failed. In my twenty-plus years in Silicon Valley, I’ve seen it all. My entire career has been defined by this world, and I’ve seen dramatic changes over that time.
As my career has progressed, I’ve found myself increasingly interested in documenting and describing the unique culture of Silicon Valley. In addition to my debut novel, Bit Flip, I post regularly to my personal blog, and I’ve been a guest columnist in many tech publications, including TechCrunch, Entrepreneur, VentureBeat and Fast Company.
