Work With Me
A lot of what I do lives in the newsletter, but some of the most important work happens in rooms — with organizations navigating real decisions, under real pressure, before the crisis arrives.
If you’re looking for more, here’s how we can work together.
🎤 Speaking
Miami Tech Summit - April 2026
I speak at conferences, universities, corporate events, and government convenings on the intersection of technology, democracy, and AI — and on how organizations can navigate high-stakes uncertainty without losing their footing.
Topics I’m frequently asked about:
AI and elections — what’s actually happening, what’s coming, and what organizations need to do now
Platform governance and trust and safety — what it looked like from inside, and what it means for you
Panic responsibly — a framework for decision-making under technological uncertainty
Navigating a career at the intersection of tech and policy
How to use AI effectively in professional work
What audiences say: “Her insightful caution to ‘panic responsibly’ left an imprint on the way our attendees approach their lives and public affairs work.” — Public Affairs Council
“She challenged the students with real-world scenarios, putting them in the hot seats confronting the same scenarios that many of the digital platforms leaders have had to face. Was one of the highest rated classes of the quarter.” — Jeb Ory, Lecturer, Stanford University

📡 Anchor Change Briefing Network
For senior practitioners — not your organization, you.
The Briefing Network is a private membership for senior operators, journalists, policy professionals, and in-house leads who need the interpretation layer that doesn’t exist in the public conversation — plus a high-signal peer room to think it through.
Most people covering this space are watching from one vantage point. I’ve been inside the campaigns, the platforms, and the regulatory conversations — on both sides of the political line. The Briefing Network is where that private analysis goes.
What’s included:
2 private memos per month — the interpretation layer that doesn’t go in the public newsletter
Monthly 60-minute live briefing with Q&A — what I’m watching, why it matters, what’s next
Monthly forward-looking strategic calendar — key global elections, major conferences, ecosystem reports
Monthly structured peer discussion — 60 minutes with the right room
Member directory and curated introductions — meaningful, not automated
Free copy of Disrupting Politics and early access before the official launch date
$500/month or $5,000/year · 40 seats · 3-month minimum
Launching May 21, 2026.
📋 Executive Briefing
For your leadership team — the room that needs to be aligned before the pressure arrives.
The Executive Briefing is a consultant’s deliverable — my read on the political, regulatory, and platform landscape, filtered through what I know about your organization, delivered in a form your leadership team can read quickly and act on.
This isn’t a newsletter product. It’s a monthly briefing memo tailored to your specific pressure points, plus a live session with your leadership team, plus a two-page distributable your chief of staff can share with boards and internal teams before Monday morning.
The difference between the Briefing Network and the Executive Briefing is audience and tailoring. The Briefing Network is for a senior practitioner as an individual. The Executive Briefing is for a leadership team as an organization.
What’s included:
Kickoff session to understand your mission, stakeholders, and pressure points
Monthly tailored briefing memo — executive summary, critical narratives, platform landscape, elections and events calendar, all filtered for your organization
Monthly 60-minute leadership briefing session with live Q&A
2-page distributable note designed to be shared with boards, members, and internal teams
Quarterly cross-organization convenings
Full access to the Anchor Change Briefing Network and Premium Content Library
Discounted bulk copies of Disrupting Politics and priority access to book-related speaking
$7,500/month · 6-month minimum
Best for policy organizations, think tanks, trade associations, and tech policy and trust and safety teams that need aligned leadership before the pressure arrives.

🔗 Fractional Advisor
For organizations that need someone inside the decisions, not just advising on them.
The Fractional Advisor engagement is for organizations under active or anticipated political, regulatory, or reputational pressure who want to be ahead of it. I get embedded — translating across your internal functions, pressure-testing your assumptions, and staying until the work holds up under real scrutiny.
This is the highest-touch engagement I offer. It’s not for everyone. It’s for organizations that know what they don’t know, and need someone who’s been in the machine when it misfired to help them not make the same mistakes.
What’s included:
Context deep dive — your mission, stakeholders, pressure points, internal functions
Weekly strategic working session — interpretation, pressure-testing, decision support
Monthly executive brief plus running intelligence archive
Real-time thinking support during high-stakes moments
Quarterly checkpoint — KPI review, recalibration, forward planning
On-demand access within pre-defined scope
Full access to the Anchor Change Briefing Network and Premium Content Library
Discounted bulk copies of Disrupting Politics and priority access to book-related speaking
$12,000/month · 6-month minimum
Best for organizations under active or anticipated political, regulatory, or reputational pressure who want to be ahead of it — not reacting to it.
