THE AUTHOR BEHIND THE BOOKS

What moves people
inspires my writing.

My professional life revolves around technology, markets and leadership. My books take a wider view: of the choices we make, changes in society and what makes a fulfilling life.

I write about negotiation, artificial intelligence and Japanese wisdom — and tell stories ranging from the near future to the darker side of familiar places.
