I believe sharing is the foundation of a sustainable world. Information, culture, opinions, resources, infrastructure, physical space, power and decision making - every inch of progress and every epochal change in history, from the formation of the first social groups to writing, democracy and the internet, has ultimately consisted of improvements in our capacity to share. Our future depends on improving it further - freely, equitably and transparently. This belief has led me from development work, to activism, academic research, advisory, training, public speaking, formal diplomacy and entrepreneurship. From promoting open communication and collective decision making in business and non-profits to mapping shifting trust networks under authoritarianism. From founding initiatives in governance, technology and media to growing networks and building international relationships.
