Who gets in, and who are you really?

Black Rocks Texture

I ran App Store Review at Apple — the team that decided which apps reached a billion people, under Steve Jobs and Tim Cook. Since then I've worked the other half of the same question: proving people are who they say they are, and protecting them when someone pretends otherwise.

HOW I WORK

Four ways in.

01

Advisor & board work

Strategy, scaling teams, platform risk and the decisions that can't be delegated – across identity, fintech, security, AI, entertainment and education. 

App Store help

02

Two problems Apple has no process for: knowing what App Review will say before you submit, and getting back on after you've been removed. 

03

Speaking

Platform trust & safety, identity in an AI-saturated world, and leadership under sustained public pressure. Keynotes, boards and closed rooms/

Writing

04

Unbreakable, a practical playbook on how to protect yourself online - plus two newsletters, one for developers and one for everybody else.

FOR PEOPLE WHO BUILD APPS • SUBSTACK

Stories from the App Store

Accounts from inside the Apple App Store's Review Team – the decisions, the arguments, the calls that couldn't be delegated – and what each one tells you about getting an app through. 

FOR EVERYONE ELSE • LINKEDIN

Be Unbreakable

Identity, fraud, and staying protected in a world where impersonation is cheap and convincing. What changed, what it means for you, and what to do about it. 

GET IN TOUCH

Advisory, a board seat, a stage, or an app in trouble.

Tell me what you're working on. I read everything that comes through, and if I'm not the right person, I usually know who is.
