Claim your profileDirector of Researchers & Technology Sector Lead | Author | Financial Due Diligence Specialist As Director of Researchers and Technology Sector Lead at Blue Heron Research Partners, I lead a global team in delivering nuanced, qualitative insights for investment due diligence. My focus is on uncovering deep perspectives on technology companies and leadership teams, helping clients make informed investment decisions through rigorous, human-sourced intelligence. Before joining Blue Heron, I was a technology journalist with bylines in Wired, The Guardian, and Digital Trends, where I specialized in artificial intelligence. I’m also the author of several books, including The Formula: How Algorithms Solve All Our Problems… and Create More and Thinking Machines (both published by Penguin Random House), exploring the intersection of AI, ethics, and society. I've shared my expertise on BBC radio and television, and spoken at events such as WebSummit, MIT Enterprise Forum, and Imagine Solutions. I also contributed to the EU’s SHERPA consortium, advising on the ethical implications of smart information systems across Europe.
