Why I Ghostwrite for Tech Leaders#

As Head of AI Research, I noticed brilliant technology leaders losing the thought leadership race to less qualified but better-marketed competitors. The problem wasn't expertise—it was bandwidth. They needed someone who could extract their knowledge and transform it into compelling narrative.

The Technology Leader's Book Blueprint

The Technology Leader's Book Blueprint

Author | 2025

This strategic guide follows three technology executives through their publishing journeys: one who succeeded brilliantly, one who crashed spectacularly, and one who discovered the power of ghostwriting. It's the insider's guide to turning expertise into authority, showing exactly how to write, publish, and leverage a book that actually advances your career.

Through real case studies, readers discover:

  • The seven-figure difference between a vanity project and a strategic asset
  • The hidden architecture of books that actually get read and shared
  • When to write it yourself, when to hire help, and when to walk away
  • The ghostwriting process decoded—costs, timelines, and red flags

"This isn't another 'just write every day' motivation manual. It's the strategic playbook for executives who understand that in the attention economy, a book isn't just content—it's currency."
