And in prose:

I am a super-smart, friendly, (ex-)techie businessperson who makes complicated ideas easy and fun. I often have out-of-the-box takes that leave people with "A ha!" moments.

It's probably due to my childhood in a traveling New Age polyamorous hippy commune. I went to MIT for comp sci and Harvard for an MBA … on a dare. Because "Truth & Dare" is no fun unless we sometimes choose "dare," right?

I’ve been part of 9 startup teams, written 3 books (the one currently in the works will be a genre-busting business book), and co-wrote a musical about personal productivity and zombies. I have done comedy improv for years, and managed to pass as a grad student long enough to be in our school show for almost ten years. Oh yeah, I also helped redesign the Harvard MBA program, have had regular radio spots about entrepreneurship, a recurring segment on CNN-fn, a column in Entrepreneur Magazine, a leadership column on HBS Working Knowledge, and am a Certified Master Trainer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. I also project managed the creation of the world’s first downloadable financial statement (the Intuit Quicken VISA) and have probably done a bunch of other impressive things.
