Enterprise B2B Writer & Editorial Strategist | Turning What Experts Know Into What Audiences Understand

About

I don't think the best B2B content starts with writing. It starts with asking the people closest to the work what they've learned. Experts who have spent years implementing systems, solving problems, working with clients, and watching their industries change often know things that can't be found in a research report. The challenge is turning that experience into ideas useful to people who haven't lived through the same things. That's why research is only one part of my process. I use industry research to understand what's already being said. Then I work with SMEs and internal resources to find what's missing: what they've observed firsthand, where their experience supports or challenges prevailing thinking, and what they've concluded from doing the work themselves. But research and expertise still aren't enough. I have to ask what I've learned from them. What does the evidence mean? Which assumptions does it challenge? What connections haven't been made? And what can I add rather than simply repeat? That's how I arrive at a point of view before I start worrying about how to write it. AI is also part of that thinking process. I use it as a brainstorming partner to challenge my reasoning, explore opposing arguments, pressure-test interpretations, and take ideas somewhere I hadn't considered. The goal isn't to outsource the thinking. It's to think more deeply. I've spent my career writing about businesses and technology across markets. Before joining Purple Iris, I wrote 300+ business profiles and cover stories featuring companies across the US, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East, spanning cloud, enterprise IT, cybersecurity, aerospace and defense, and other technology-led industries. I also interviewed 75+ CXOs, hearing firsthand how business and technology leaders think about their industries, companies, and challenges. Today, I write across enterprise IT, cloud, AI, data and analytics, finance and accounting, healthcare, and other complex B2B domains. My work spans thought leadership, guest posts, case studies, and other long-form content for CFOs, CIOs, CDOs, finance transformation, data and analytics, operations, and other enterprise leaders. Different subjects. Different audiences. Different formats. The standard remains the same. Good B2B content shouldn't simply tell readers what's already known. It should add something: an interpretation, a connection, a lesson from experience, or a point of view that helps someone see the subject differently. That's the standard I try to hold my work to.
