Big news! My commitment to “tech for good” is in a new phase.

I am the CEO of GoodCarts, an ecommerce startup that empowers people to have impact by discovering new sustainable and purpose-driven brands. It’s the real deal.

I do have “unfinished business” in the social entreprenuership and digital democracy space with a particular interest in sharing knowledge and experience across generations. Read on and get in touch via email or connect with me on LinkedIn..

…

I work to improve democracy and strengthen communities in our dynamic digital age. I help organizations make change online to impact the real world.

I have worked over the last 30+ years with scores of innovators across all sectors in 35+ countries in-person and globally online.

I am a Founder of E-Democracy.org, a social entrepreneurship Ashoka Fellow, host of the dynamically global Open Government and Civic Technology community on Facebook, and honored as a White House Champion of Change for Open Government.

I travel the world online and in-person as a public speaker, consultant and digital engagement expert on civic technology and open government with an unparalleled two decades of direct experience. In 1994, I coined the term “e-democracy.” Using current buzzwords … that’s the use of social media and technology for open government, digital democracy, social and civic innovation, citizen participation, public engagement, deliberative democracy, and related topics.

In addition to my roles with E-Democracy.org and my 1 Radio News start-up, I am now available (LinkedIn) for speaking and consulting projects.
