When it comes to building or growing online communities, I like to think of myself as a “Mad Scientist”.Since 2014, I’ve been contributing to movements, major events, and global impact projects, through managing and growing online communities—creating spaces where diverse voices come together to share knowledge, collaborate, and drive meaningful change.I specialize in three core areas:🚀 Building From the Ground Up:I focus on galvanizing interest and mobilizing people—early adopters, stakeholders, and contributors—to take action, especially when building something new from the ground up. I create the spark that gets people excited and the momentum to turn ideas into reality.🚀 Engagement & Inclusivity:Rather than just opening the doors and waiting for people to walk in, I intentionally create a culture where people feel valued, motivated to engage, share ideas, and see themselves as part of something bigger than themselves.🚀 Creating Strategic Connections:I connect the dots across industries and borders, bringing together relationships that others may overlook. By linking diverse perspectives—from influencers to external communities and internal teams—I help create collaborative solutions that drive success and expand impact.Industries and Focus Areas: • Healthcare innovation (online collaboration, clinical trials) • Influencers & entrepreneurs transitioning followers into active, profitable communities • Volunteer-led, mission-driven organizations with a global focus • Startups & open-source projectsRecent Experience:Most recently, I’ve been developing the communications program at Open Library, the world’s largest open-source, community-run library with 10 million book lovers. It functions like a communications department but operates as an open project, enabling volunteer contributors worldwide to create media and content at scale.Let’s Connect!If you’re looking to build a community for growth, engagement, or competitive advantage, let’s talk. I’d love to share insights, offer strategic advice, or discuss a dedicated role in supporting your community-building goals.
