Platform partnerships will become the new way that the world does business, and that every company will need to have a strategy, and a team, that understands how these ecosystems work.

I love technology and I have been lucky to work with some of the best tech companies in the world. My life changed forever when I got the opportunity to work in the Technology partnerships team at Facebook and Atlassian, and began learning about APIs, SaaS, ecosystems and platform partnerships.

I believe that these platform partnerships will become the new way that the world does business, and that every company will need to have a strategy, and a team, that understands how these ecosystems work.

This blog is an effort to take what I have learned over the past decade and make it widely available. I like to teach but I also like to learn, so please provide any feedback that you have on the content that you see here.

When I'm not working, writing or advising, I'm with my family. I live in California and spend as much time as possible with my wife and two sons.
