Crowdsourcing

We help news organizations and others engage with their communities. Our prototype project crowdsourcing health care prices with public radio stations is an example of our expertise.

Getting Press

I was an editor at The New York Times for almost 20 years, and heard a lot of terrible pitches. At my startup, clearhealthcosts.com, we've gotten a bunch of great earned media. How did we do it? Happy to share!

Health Costs

I founded a head-turning digital startup revealing health-care costs. This is the last big remaining opaque marketplace, and it's changing at the speed of light. We won a series of grants, wrote about it for the Harvard Business Review, JAMA Internal Medicine, and NPR, and won the "Patient Shark Tank" at the NYeC conference in December 2014. Let me share my expertise.

Jeanne is a smart editor and writer who is also an adept reporter. That would be good enough. But there's more: she is a generous colleague, curious student of the world, and very competent manager. Bottom line: she is an all-around good person to know.

I worked with Jeanne at the Times on the Foreign Desk, and I found her to not only have a complete grasp of the multi-faceted international issues that we covered, but an attention to the nuances of the stories she assigned and edited that brought out the most salient details. I continue to be impressed by her ability to execute on a strategic and tactical level simultaneously.

Jeanne has the vision needed to identify big problems and the skill required to devise compelling solutions. In our years together at The New York Times, Jeanne consistently raised ambitions and standards, even for colleagues operating at the top of the profession. As an entrepreneur, Jeanne demonstrated both a laser-like focus on what's important and the expertise that enabled her to master the range of fields at the foundation of every successful business. Jeanne knows how to spot talent and brings out the best in those around fortunate enough to work with her.

Jeanne is able to understand and quickly learn the concepts necessary to complete any project efficiently with a team of developers. Our relationship was full of trust in our capabilities and our ability to bring two different backgrounds to the table, which is a rare pleasure in client-developer relationships. She is organized and a true leader, able to adapt to different types of people and tasks.
