Menlo Park, California, United States
I was Vice Chairman at Bank of America, operating at the fault line between global finance, technology, and cybersecurity—including confronting nation-state threats. Pissing off platforms is not something I’m afraid of. I’ve spent my career identifying systemic risk before it becomes irreversible. What’s happening to children online is exactly that. TeenAegis exists because the solution already exists. The same intelligence-led systems used to protect financial institutions can be applied to protect children. We drag their behavior out of the shadows—and hold them accountable in the light.
Expert witness and litigation support specialist in social media harm, platform product liability, and child safety. Developed and apply the Threat Assessment Intelligence Methodology (TAIM) — a proprietary platform danger scoring system that produces structured, Daubert-ready expert analysis of how social media platforms engineer harm in minors. Retained in matters involving MDL 3047 (In re: Social Media Adolescent Addiction/Personal Injury Products Liability Litigation) and related state court actions. Provide written expert reports, deposition testimony, and trial testimony. Areas of engagement include algorithmic harm causation, COPPA violations, platform architecture and design defect, CSAM facilitation through platform features, and age verification failure. Maintain full independence from platform funding — opinions are not subject to challenge on the basis of industry financial relationships.
TeenAegis applies the behavioral detection architecture of global finance to the protection of children online — privacy-first, non-invasive, and built for the scale the problem demands. We publish the Wall of Shame Platform Danger Index, the Global Child Safety Law Index, and the US State Child Safety Law Rankings, holding platforms and legislators accountable through data they cannot ignore. Our free cybersecurity game for teens at play.teenaegis.com teaches children to defend themselves against the ten threats most likely to harm them online, with a Teacher HQ dashboard for schools and a built-in Get Help Now button for students facing real-world danger. The platforms will not save our children. We will.
