Wired

At Wired.com, I was at the epicenter of the first dot-com boom as a Staff Writer and Multimedia Editor, writing 2 to 3 daily technology stories while pioneering the site’s venture into audio content. This demanding editorial role required me to develop a comprehensive content strategy that balanced timely reporting with innovative storytelling formats. I created and hosted Wired’s first two audio programs, managing the project development process, including writing the programs, finding guests, and conducting interviews.

My editorial responsibilities extended beyond daily content creation to include representing Wired at major industry events like SXSW Interactive and the National Association of Broadcasters, where I presented on emerging media trends. As the Multimedia Editor for audio initiatives, I built and maintained relationships with technology thought leaders and technical experts who provided crucial insights into rapidly evolving digital landscapes. This frontline experience during a period of unprecedented technological disruption helped me develop expertise in translating complex technical concepts into engaging narratives accessible to broader audiences—a strategic communication skill that has remained fundamental to my approach in subsequent editorial leadership roles.
