I am a freelance writer and editor based in Massachusetts. I have been on the cutting edge of technology for 30 years, covering such hot topics as virtualization, cloud computing, mobility, security, networking, and storage throughout their life-cycles. Of late I was the Editor-in-Chief of Virtualization Review, where I was responsible for all editorial aspects of the print magazine and a primary contributor to the publication’s website. Prior to Virtualization Review, I was an independent editorial consultant for many years, during which time I specialized in managing custom publications, planning industry events, and working closely with a wide variety of clients, including Activate, CIO Magazine, Computerworld, EMC, Forbes Magazine, Hitachi Data Systems, HP, IDG Custom Solutions, Microsoft, VMware and The Wall Street Journal. Throughout this portion of my career, I produced a wide range of marketing communications materials including white papers, case studies, webcasts, webzines, conference guides, brochures, and newsletters. Before going out on my own, I spent eight years rising through the editorial ranks at Computerworld and becoming the founding editor of Network World. I have a broad knowledge of technologies, their key drivers, and major players. Throughout my career, my biggest strengths have been my ability to communicate and work effectively with clients, vendors, public relations specialists, analysts, and others. I am a creative, idea-driven individual with a solid track record of accomplishments, and a dedication to excellence.
