FOLIO HALL OF FAME
11x WEBBY AWARD WINNER
I’m an award-winning digital executive with experience managing large P&Ls (>$100M), launching and scaling new businesses, leading transformation, and creating industry-disrupting products for start-ups, intrapreneurial ventures, private equity backed brands, and some of the world’s most influential media, digital publishing, commerce, and technology companies, including Consumer Reports, CNN Money, Columbia University, Fortune, FOX, Health, LIFE, Outside, PBS, Slate Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Thomson Reuters, Uncommon Goods, and the Wall Street Journal.
In 2025, I was part of an inaugural group inducted in Folio's Hall of Fame at the Eddie & Ozzie Awards for being one of the "most visionary and influential leaders in magazine and digital media." Along the way, I’ve also won many other major industry awards, including 11 Webby Awards and Honors.
I’m currently the Chief Innovation Officer for the PE-backed company, The Muse Group (The Muse, Fairygodboss, Purpose Jobs), the job marketplace and advice destination that helps individuals connect with jobs, companies, and careers they love. I’m also a fractional CXO with a consulting business (JDF Strategies LLC), the CEO and co-founder of EV Car Answers, and am a certified executive coach where I’ve coached and mentored numerous executives, start-up founders, emerging leaders, and peers.
In addition, I’ve had success as an entrepreneur (3x founder), trusted advisor, board member, and speaker. I was a pre-IPO investor in Lyft, Pinterest, Impossible Foods, and several early-stage start-ups, and founded and ran my own business for 11 years, Swiss Watch Boutique LLC, which was profiled in the New York Times.
I’m also a lifelong learner with a BA (McGill), MA (Simon Fraser), and certificates from Harvard, Stanford, Dartmouth, and NYU. I’ve taught at universities in the USA and Canada. Currently, I’m studying generative AI applications.
In my spare time, I can be found traveling, skiing, hiking, running, reading, and enjoying good coffee.
