I started working as the lead writer and editor at Nokia Software in October 2020. In January 2021, this business group was folded into Cloud and Network Services. In July 2022, I moved over to the Strategy & Technology function and specifically to Bell Labs. As the primary storyteller for all these organizations, my goal has been to shape the industry narrative and frame thinking around technology trends and approaches – while also providing insight into the products and people behind it all. My personal mission is to try to understand technology better and make it more accessible to the masses.
