I can speak easily to your group about the technical aspects of the software development lifecycle, how to translate between biz-school speak and geek jargon, or seeing a project from engineers', marketers', testers', and others' points of view. Another useful talk I can give empowers people with political science tools to X-ray their organizations.
I have extensive experience in nonprofits, schools, the arts, periodicals, and service and product firms, as well as a master's degree in technology management from Columbia University. As a seasoned stand-up comic, emcee, and teacher, I can entertain and educate audiences on little notice.
