I have spent 20+ years studying the internet, online behaviors and exploring ways to create ecosystems that fuse a wide variety of data sources to knock down silos while teaching computers to think like humans – environments that listen, learn and become more accurate/intelligent over time.I’m the Founder and CEO of Soteria Intelligence – a technology company at the intersection of real-time social media analytics, deep learning, forming digital customer experiences and RPA. Soteria Intelligence's patented ecosystem gives companies the ability to tap into actionable, near real-time data fused from a variety of sources to make critical decisions in the moment. Over the years I have had the opportunity to guide businesses ranging from startups to Fortune 100 companies, spoke at a variety of conferences, was cited by various news outlets and publications (BBC, Columbia Journalism Review, NPR, The Guardian, VideoAge, college textbooks, etc.), and serve as a social media expert witness in federal court cases. Prior to Soteria Intelligence, I launched The Brainchild Group in 2007, which is a marketing and consulting firm that is trusted by large organizations from around the world. The firm specializes in developing forward-thinking internet marketing strategies with an emphasis on search engine optimization, social media marketing, and tapping into influencers in select spaces. Clients include Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies (automotive manufacturers, global food brands, financial institutions, etc.).
