Big Ideas & Real Impact

For four decades I've been building environments and institutions that expand what young people imagine is possible across children's media, informal and formal learning, and creative technologies, always with equity and opportunity at the center.

I bring deep expertise and hard-won organizational judgment to complex situations, including:

  • Designing and developing creative digital learning products for young people and educators

  • Leading institutions through founding moments, rapid growth, pandemic, and crisis

  • Building trust-based partnerships with communities, governments, and boards

  • Raising hundred of millions in philanthropic and program funds

I have left every organization stronger than when I joined it.
