\section{Summary}

Working on all levels including government level, global professional experience with an understanding of many cultures. Strong communicating skills, both written and verbal. Experienced mediator, working on the intersection of IT and business. As a writer, I see my mission in carefully transferring the technical messages onto business soil without damaging the roots. Caring about the readers (investors, media, general public): cutting to the chase, presenting your concept clearly and concisely, and explaining how it is relevant to their business. Caring about the technical side: crafting your brand story without distorting or oversimplifying the ideas. \\

I have worked with C-level executives, finance and accounting professionals, software developers, solution designers, marketing and sales teams, and data scientists, to create precisely researched and beautifully written white papers. My areas of expertise are finance (FinTech/InsurTech), data management, technology (blockchain / ICOs, cybersecurity), and machine learning / artificial intelligence.
