A little over three years ago I was angling for a new job. In an attempt to impress with the local cuisine I took Kate Lee to a streetwise burrito joint in the Tenderloin. And by streetwise I mean anyone might walk in and hit you up for change while you ate, and maybe take your half finished coke off the table and down it right in front of your face.
To her credit, she hired me anyway, after dissing “your little town,” and I joined the content team at Medium.
Medium keeps evolving and growing and I’ve been privileged to be here from close to the start. It’s been a fantastic opportunity and challenge, and now I’m thrilled to say I’m poised to take on a new one. I’m joining Periscope as Editor in Chief. I still love the written word and Medium, but I honestly can’t think of many things more exciting than helping build a new platform with mobile phones and real time video. Look for me there starting May 16.
