The samples below are mostly from the marketing writing and executive ghostwriting work I’ve been doing for the past few years, with some journalistic work included near the end. I don’t expect you to read all of this, but it’s meant to show a variety of types and styles of work: formal, informal, technical and business-focused.
The most AWS-focused article I’ve written recently is a review of the book,
How to Leverage AWS and Google Cloud for SAP and Oracle, written as a byproduct of research I did for Rimini Street (but published on LinkedIn rather than through formal Rimini Street marketing channels)
The Book on AWS and Google Cloud for SAP and Oracle Customers
Rimini Street
Much of my work for Rimini Street has me working in the role of ghostwriter for executives and producing articles that cross-promote ebooks, white papers, and webinars. I was a collaborator / editor on ebooks and white papers, but the blog and byline articles are probably better examples of my writing. I’ve also included a revamped company overview brochure I worked on.

Copywriting:
This is a revamped company overview brochure supporting new messaging about business value, not just cost savings. This includes input from across the executive team, but the new introduction is largely mine.
RingCentral
Before joining Rimini Street, I was an editorial consultant to RingCentral, particularly working on messaging for the Glip collaboration service RingCentral added to its cloud unified communications suite.
Making WebRTC Work for Enterprise Communication and Collaboration – byline written in collaboration with RingCentral’s API marketing executive (and others)
