Speaking + Media

Marketing, AI & Search Speaker

I am a Boston-area marketing strategist, technology entrepreneur, and founder of Darby Digital. I am available for conference speaking, panels, workshops, podcast appearances, and media interviews on marketing, artificial intelligence, search, digital change, and entrepreneurship.
