Talking democracy since 2020
Venture capitalist, serial entrepreneur, class traitor. In 2014, I warned my fellow plutocrats that the pitchforks would be coming for us if we kept hoarding all the wealth...and here we are.
I have devoted my career to supporting books and authors, as an editor, writer, publicist, director of Oprah’s Book Club, and current director of The Ink democracy book club. Step up, fellow bibliophiles! In this era of book banning, be fierce!
