Writing Samples: The Three Voices Every Tech Executive Needs#
Voice 1: The Strategic Storyteller#
AI Governance Models That Actually Work
Published in The AI Monitor | June 2024
Opening excerpt:
"Iris Blackwood's coffee went cold as she stared at the number glowing on her laptop screen: forty-seven. Forty-seven unauthorized AI tools discovered in a single department..."
What this demonstrates:
- Narrative hook that grabs C-suite attention
- Data-driven insights (245M interactions at Wells Fargo, $1.5B value at JPMorgan)
- Problem-to-solution arc that keeps readers engaged
- Enterprise credibility through real case studies
Why this matters for your book:
This is how I transform dry governance topics into must-read content. Your technical expertise becomes a page-turner that board members actually finish.
Voice 2: The Technical Authority#
Navigating AI Safety: Why ISO 26262 is Necessary but Insufficient
Published on LinkedIn | December 2023
Key passage:
"ISO 26262, while a robust framework, overlooks critical aspects of AI systems. It does not address data quality and bias—two pivotal elements in AI performance. Poor data quality or biased datasets can lead to erroneous predictions, potentially leading to dire consequences."
What this demonstrates:
- Deep technical expertise in safety-critical systems
- Ability to challenge established thinking respectfully
- Bridge technical and business concerns for executive readers
- Regulatory understanding crucial for compliance-driven industries
Why this matters for your book:
I speak fluent "technical" but write in "executive." Your deep expertise won't get lost in translation.
Voice 3: The Practical Advisor#
Shadow AI on the Rise: From Hidden Risk to Strategic Asset
Published in The AI Monitor | June 2024
Solution-focused excerpt:
"Morgan Stanley: When wealth advisors were discovered secretly using ChatGPT, they didn't ban it. They built something better. Result? 16,000 advisors gained instant access to firm insights—'like having our Chief Investment Strategist on call 24/7.'"
What this demonstrates:
- Trend identification before issues become crises
- Practical solutions not just problem identification
- ROI focus that resonates with business leaders
- Change management insights for real-world implementation
Why this matters for your book:
I don't just explain problems—I provide frameworks for solving them. Your book will be actionable, not just informational.
Client Transformation: From Regional Expert to Global Authority#
The Problem#
A European embedded systems expert with 30 years of experience was invisible to the $15 billion global market. His expertise was trapped in German—cutting him off from 90% of potential clients, speaking opportunities, and consulting revenues.
The Solution#
Transform complex German technical knowledge into THE definitive English-language book on embedded testing—while adding cutting-edge AI content that didn't exist in any language.
The Execution#
As writer and strategic advisor, I:
- Secured BPB Publications (Asia's largest technical publisher) before writing—enabling distribution to 50,000 engineers
- Translated and transformed 20 chapters of German technical content
- Authored completely new sections on AI testing methodologies
- Managed international review cycles across three time zones
- Delivered publication-ready manuscript
The Business Impact#
- Book reaching 50,000+ engineers globally
- Opened $2M+ global consulting market
- Pre-publication workshop bookings secured
- Generated coordinated marketing campaigns across multiple companies
- Established as THE English-language authority on embedded testing
"Adam makes complex technical concepts accessible without losing precision. His ability to structure and deliver a full-length technical book on schedule while maintaining quality is exceptional."
Why This Matters for You#
Your expertise has massive untapped value—but it's likely trapped in your head, your native language, or your local market. I don't just write books; I strategically position expertise for global markets you haven't reached yet. One book can open continents.
Additional Success Stories#
