I fell in love with computers at fifteen while teaching at a local computer training institute for pocket money. That early fascination with computers and what they could do never left me. In the course of my career, I have built tech-centric businesses, managed tech teams, implemented complex websites, e-commerce and mobile trading applications, SAP, ATG and supply chain solutions. I’ve advised on outsourcing strategies, created the MOSEM methodology for outsourcing effectiveness that Mphasis used with many clients and led IIFL into the largest and most successful cloud deployment in India. I’ve negotiated a Rs 240Cr strategic outsourcing contract with IBM uniquely based on outcome pricing; it reached steady state in less than a year. I've managed large IT setups with hundreds of offices, thousands of different kinds of devices and millions of real time transactions. The Internet excites me; I live my life online and follow worldwide trends closely. I was an early Internet evangelist, speaking, writing about and implementing across the world from the earliest days of my career. I was instrumental in helping Rediff launch India’s first e-commerce. I co-founded Indbazaar, which gathered a million registered users and became India’s #3 portal on a shoestring. I played a key role with many other web presences in India and abroad - Shoppers Stop, Sharekhan, JP Morgan Chase, Capital One Auto Finance and others. More recently, I led Futurebazaar from launch to India’s largest e-commerce site in 2006. I’ve spoken, written and presented extensively on e-commerce, m-commerce, cloud, development methodologies, strategic outsourcing and the changing world of online and social media. A recent peer vote ranked me 42nd in the list of India’s most influential CIOs.

Currently, I am an associate professor and serve as the department’s chairperson. My first book Global Liberalism, Local Populism: peace and conflict in Israel/Palestine and Northern Ireland (Syracuse University Press, 2006) engages with the dynamics of the conflicts in the two regions and the impact of economic changes on them. The book is the winner of the Czempiel Prize, Frankfurt Peace Research Institute, (2008). My second book, Between State and Synagogue: The Secularization of Modern Israel, (Cambridge University Press, 2013) examines questions of religion and state in Israel. The book is the Winner of the Shapiro Best Book Award, Israel Studies Association (2014), and the Israeli Political Science Association Best Book Award (2014). In addition, I edited and co-wrote several books and published more than 30 articles. My recent research engages with questions of policing and particularly with relations of police forces and minorities. I conducted research in Canada, the United States and currently, a large research on Israeli police. The next stage in this research will be a comparative work on police forces in mixed cities and post-conflict states, examining the dilemmas that police forces contend with and the potential of reforms.

I'm based in Brussels and moderate conferences all over Europe. Subject areas can vary enormously: one week it might be health or consumer affairs another week the European Investment Bank or innovation and entrepreneurship. I am a former presenter of Channel Four News in the UK and was a Europe correspondent for both the BBC and GMTV, as well as presenter of European Journal for DeutscheWelle TV. There's no doubt that the moderator sets the tone for the whole conference and I think that working in live TV for years enables me to think on my feet. I like to make conference debates as informal and fast moving as a TV discussion would be. I prepare subjects well, contact speakers before events and work closely with clients.

Do you want news coverage for your business or organization? Convince reporters and editors how you will get them page views beyond their wildest dreams. I will show you how. After a year of contributing to Forbes.com, I made it to the elite list of 10 Top Forbes Writers. I would love to share all of the SEO and writing tools I used to achieve that. When I started contributing to Forbes in April 2015, I only covered ETFs and mutual funds. One day a rep with Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary contacted me to do an interview with him about his new O'Shares ETFs. Elated, I asked my editor if I could also do a sidebar about him and the show. Ever since I have been covering my favorite TV show next to Game of Thrones and Silicon Valley. I started Key Financial Media LLC in 2014 to help investment strategists and financial advisors boost their visibility and credibility by getting them media coverage and ghostwriting their commentaries published in leading industry and mainstream news outlets. I was a reporter at Investor’s Business Daily for more than eight years, covering stocks, exchange-traded funds and mutual funds. In a previous life, I worked in public radio as a reporter and producer and local TV news as a producer. I earned a Master’s in Communications and Journalism through the Kiplinger Public Affairs Fellowship at The Ohio State University.
