Hello! Tell us a bit about yourself

I’m a marketing executive who specialises in products aimed at software developers.

I started my career at Sun Microsystems in the 1990s, moved to Microsoft to run Visual Studio marketing and product management, went to Amazon to be the first Director of Marketing for AWS, then had stints on the platform businesses at Facebook and Twitter.

Since then, I’ve been at numerous database startups as VP of Marketing.

Currently, I lead Product Marketing at Supabase.

I am the author of Picks and Shovels: Marketing to Developers During the AI Gold Rush, a practical guide to developer marketing due out in Fall/Winter 2025.

I also advise several startups and help startups find and hire up-and-coming talent as their first Head of Marketing. You can subscribe to my blog Strategic Nerds.

I am originally from Washington, DC, but consider myself a Californian.

My wife and I own homes in San Francisco, California, and, since 2021, have been living in Lisbon, Portugal.

We have a three-year-old son and are truly enjoying the family-centric life in Portugal.

I don’t like cluttered spaces, and can only think when my desk is clear.

What you see in the photo isn’t a cleaned up version of my space.

It is my space as it nearly always is, day and night.
