Founder
Carrotmob
(Civic & Social Organization industry)
January 2008 — Present (1 year 11 months)
Carrotmob is a method of activism that leverages consumer power to make the most socially-responsible business practices also the most profitable choices. Businesses compete with one another to see who can do the most good, and then a big mob of consumers buys products in order to reward whichever business made the strongest commitment to improve the world. It’s the opposite of a boycott.

Game Developer
The Go Game
(Privately Held; Wireless industry)
November 2005 — June 2008 (2 years 8 months)
The Go Game (www.thegogame.com) produces high-tech urban adventure games. We basically craft customized "Amazing Race"-type events for companies and other organizations looking for a structured experience or just a riotously fun time. I traveled the world creating elaborate games from scratch, managing actors, writing missions, facilitating the kidnapping of company executives, producing videos, leveraging technology, making hilarious presentations, and generally orchestrating everything that makes The Go Game so popular.
