15 years making complex technology feel human and accessible. 20+ AI-native products shipped in six months. Ready to define how Granola talks to the world.
Built this page for you. Let me build your content engine too.You need someone who can think strategically about content and ship it themselves. Who can make AI topics feel human. Who's built audiences from scratch. Here's the overlap.
I've shipped 20+ live AI-native products in six months — voice agents, recommendation engines, curated platforms. I don't write about AI from the outside. I build with it daily. That means content that's technically credible and editorially sharp.
From R/GA to MediaMonks to founding my own company, I've shaped brand voice for Nike, Google, Meta and more — then written the copy, briefed the teams, and shipped the campaigns. As comfortable in strategy as in execution.
Published author with BCS (2024). Built editorial strategies across every channel — from thought leadership to product storytelling. I own the entire content surface, not just one corner of it.
Founded Burst. Launched Oishii London (84-restaurant guide), The Visible Shelf (295-book library), Culture Terminal. Each one built an audience from zero with editorial craft, not paid media.
Years at agencies like R/GA, Poke, and AnalogFolk taught me to write for product-obsessed audiences. I know how to make product updates feel like stories worth reading.
From First Order London (AI voice restaurant agent) to With Moshi (AI phone answering) — every product I build centres on making complex AI feel intuitive and human. That's the content skill Granola needs.
Named a BIMA 100 Tech Pioneer. Published author. That's the credibility needed to build Granola's thought leadership — not just writing content, but being a voice worth following.
I've founded companies, shipped products solo, and delivered a £3.2M programme at MediaMonks. I know what it's like to work in a small, fast team where you think strategically and ship the same day.
Granola is the rare AI product that doesn't need hype — it needs articulation. A meeting notes app built with genuine craft, used by founders and operators who care about quality. That's the kind of product I want to write about. The writing experience, the design obsession, the notebook-like attention to detail — this is a product that rewards great content.
I've spent my career making complex technology feel human. Granola's entire premise is making AI feel invisible and useful. That alignment isn't coincidental.
I've founded companies. I've shipped alone and in small teams. I know what it means to own a function end-to-end — to define the strategy, write the first draft, build the newsletter, brief a freelancer, and measure what worked. That's what this role demands.
Working directly with founders to shape how Granola talks to the world — that's the work I do best. Not managing layers, but shaping voice and building audiences with speed and intention.
This is the role I've been building toward.Granola makes AI feel like a well-designed notebook. I want to make Granola's content feel the same way — considered, clear, and worth coming back to.
