I am the founder of Bloomvale which develops innovative growth strategies, award-winning products and impactful partnerships to help support high-quality journalism.

Previously, I was the SVP of Product at GLG, the Chief Product Officer of the New Republic, and worked for Bloomberg helping to develop and launch Bloomberg Politics and a daily TV show With All Due Respect.

I worked at The New York Times for nine years on a wide variety of their digital initiatives — product management and development of email, crosswords, and subscriptions and then operating roles in business development, digital and advertising strategy and advertising operations.

I am a passionate golfer, skier, runner, and boogie boarder. I ran the NYC Marathon twice in 2010 and 2011, and climbed Denali, aka Mt. McKinley, with NOLS.

Personally, I live in New York with my wife Torrey, and our two daughters.

For what it is worth, my last name is pronounced “Purse”.
