As Director of Product Management, I drives product platform strategy and roadmap execution for PRWeb, the leading online news distribution service.  In addition I support strategic business planning, partnerships, and marketing/sales.

Prior to Vocus, I served as Vice President of Online Services for v-Fluence Public Relations where I was responsible for defining and developing services to monitor and analyze online activity.

I received by BA in English from Georgetown University and Masters in Media/Communications from the London School of Economics where my dissertation focused on media production and consumption in social media communities.

I currently am on the vendor council for the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR) and in addition to writing in New Influencer I co-host Webmaster Radio’s Cover Story, a podcast on public relations and technology.
