Introduction

I am a business and financial marketing and media professional, a consultant, writer, content strategist, and project manager. I’m also a salesperson and leadership coach. I'm interested in the intersections of technology, business, and government, with expertise in financial technology. As principal of and lead writer for Canright Communications, a Chicago-based marketing communications firm, I help companies connect to clients and generate leads. Over the past 25 years, I have written extensively about ecommerce and banking in books, articles, system documentation, and marketing materials. I am the co-author or ghostwriter of six books, including The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Kabbalah, Put the Win Back in Your Sales, and Electronic Data Interchange: A Guide for Health Care Institutions.

I'm up for
