Career began as an opinion columnist at Fast Company around 2006, focusing on innovation-industry absurdities and over-the-top marketing stunts. Transitioned to Fortune to cover economics, technology, and media after recruitment with a larger salary. Earlier experience included buy-side tech equity analysis and founding the Wall Street site Dealbreaker, popular among junior bankers. Current roles include contributing pieces for The New York Times opinion section and co-hosting the Slate Money podcast, with additional bylines in The Washington Post, The New Republic, and the Financial Times. Domain expertise provides standing to advise on thought leadership and column placement.
My first job as an opinion columnist was here at Fast Company, writing the back page column for the magazine, circa 2006 or so. The column was about the absurdities of the innovation industry and over-the-top marketing stunts, and anything that could be mined for comic fodder while saying something interesting about the mid-'00s post-crash business environment. I stopped writing the column because, well, Fortune magazine recruited me
There, I wrote about economics, technology, and media. Before I went into media at the ripe old age of 23, I had been a buy-side tech equity analyst, and had also started a Wall Street site called Dealbreaker that was popular with second-year analysts at investment banks who paid for bottle service at nightclubs. The latter is not what made me equipped to write about things like how core inflation is calculated,
Now I'm a contributing writer for The New York Times opinion section, which means they give me space once or twice a month and I write mostly about politics, tech, and culture. (I also co-host a financial news podcast, Slate Money, so I have not stopped punditing about the economy entirely.) I've also written columns for The Washington Post, The New Republic, the Financial Times, and others.
