Human expertise belongs in the digital world.
The information crisis is usually framed as a content problem: there’s too much misinformation, and not enough moderation.
But there’s another side of it that gets less attention. The people who spend years building expertise and perspective on the issues that impact society most — medical care providers, scientists, researchers, educators, and public servants — are largely absent from the spaces where public understanding is actually formed.
That absence has consequences. It reshapes how authority is defined, how the public decides whom to trust, and increasingly how AI impacts their fields.
Digital platforms are no longer just about marketing and keeping in touch. They’re core information infrastructure. And right now, a lot of the people with critical knowledge to share are sitting it out.
If this sounds familiar, Feed for Thought is for you. It’s a space for experts to engage with technology on their own terms.
I write essays, explore case studies, and talk to people who are figuring this out in real time. Whatever the field, the focus stays the same: how credibility and authority are shifting in the digital age, and what that means for anyone balancing institutional standards with modern-day trust dynamics.
My goal is to help you understand how digital systems actually work — so you can make deliberate decisions about if and how you use them.
Participation is much broader than most people assume. If you’re online at all, you’re already shaping the ecosystem — through what you read, share, and ignore. There’s no such thing as being passive online, and choosing not to engage has its own consequences.
A bit about me: I spent 15 years inside the technology sector working on exactly these problems. I founded Meta’s global information ecosystem program — a $300M+ initiative that partnered with governments, UN agencies, and hundreds of institutions to reach over two billion people with expert information on public health, science, and civic issues. Before that, I launched Uber across Europe as one of its first international hires and oversaw its global policy work on safety and consumer protection.
The irony isn’t lost on me that I spent years helping institutions show up in digital spaces while never doing it under my own name. Starting Feed for Thought was my way of walking the talk — and working through the same hesitations myself that many experts feel.
If you’re working through questions of trust, authority, and how you can extend your expertise in the digital age, you’re in the right place.
Thanks for being here,
