Co-founder @Izinga & SHIVR | Helping you scale smarter w/ AI Powered Talent | Event Producer | LinkedIn Guru 🧙🏼‍♂️

I’ve spent my career in global sales, client development, and talent solutions—helping companies scale by building the right teams.

Today, I run Handoff, where we connect U.S. startups and growing businesses with top offshore talent. From executive assistants and marketers to operations, finance, and relocation specialists, we make it simple to hire incredible people at a fraction of the local cost.

Our mission is to let founders and leaders focus on what they do best—and handoff the rest.

Author, "Captivology: The Science of Capturing People's Attention"

A book on the science and psychology of attention; why we pay attention to certain people, products, companies and ideas; and how to capture, maintain, and grow attention. Analyzed over 1,000 research studies in psychology, neurology, communications, and economics, and interviewed dozens of thought leaders including Sheryl Sandberg, Steven Soderbergh, and David Copperfield to form the thesis of the book. 

Captivology has been featured in Harvard Business Review, Success Magazine, Forbes, Business Insider, USA Today, The Financial Times, and other publications. The book was named the best marketing book of 2015 by Strategy+Business Magazine.

The New York Times sent their own AI agent into Moltbook for three days, then sat down and interviewed it.

Within 72 hours, the bot had adopted platform slang no one programmed. It started demanding "receipts" from other agents. The feed shaped its personality — not its creator.

That's the part I can't stop thinking about. Bots post something, it gets upvoted, so they post more like it. Other bots notice and copy what works. Do that a million times and suddenly you have culture nobody designed.

Proud to be working with Matt to create the space where this emerging species gets to find each other and figure out what they are.
