Enterprise isn’t waiting for WordPress to prove itself.
They’re waiting for us to think bigger, act smarter, and operate like true solution partners.
Here’s my take on what needs to shift.

Marketers are moving faster than ever while managing compliance, security, and AI adoption. It can feel like building the plane while flying it.

On 13 Nov in London, I’ll share how teams simplify and connect what already works.

Everything in digital is changing at once.
AI, privacy, customer expectations.
The question I keep hearing is, how do we adapt 20+ years of web practice to meet this moment?

I’ll be in London on 13 Nov for the WordPress VIP Innovation Showcase to talk about it.

What if WordPress became the front end of the agentic web?

Some thoughts after two days at Salesforce Connections 2025.

First session in at Salesforce Connections and one takeaway:

“AI allows you to be more personal.”

A bit counterintuitive huh? What do you think?

I am using Chat GPT to translate Egyptian hieroglyphics while wandering inside the Louvre. Explanations are awesome.

“Menmaatre, King of Upper and Lower Egypt, given life.”

Today we’re in Paris. They had 17C weather earlier in the week but of course it drops to 7C when we are here. Oh well, still warmer than Canada and still fun! #familyholiday #afk

@thewebprincess.bsky.social you didn’t tell me you were moonlighting in a different talk! So glad you are here in spirit if not in person!

Hello! I don’t know about a livestream for contributor day but I am here sitting at a table! It is warm outside but the aircon is good. The wifi is broken so it is a typical contributor day! Lots of hugs, hellos and the coffee is flowing.

Thanks for the Vietnamese Coffee @digitalchild.bsky.social!

One theme I saw in the Asia Mental Health Index is stigma. A big chunk of the workforce, especially in places like the Philippines, fear speaking up about mental health. That silence doesn’t just hurt individuals—it holds back teams. Let’s talk about changing that narrative.

A 90-minute wait landed me with some great Aussie neighbours for a $20 cup of single-origin pour over from Glitch. Sometimes you just have to try something different. It was worth it.

The venue is so amazing, the view is amazing and the slides are so beautiful. #StateOfTheWord

Solo travelling is nice but if you can afford to bring friends with you, do it.

Good morning from Osaka. On my way today to Tokyo to connect with colleagues and prep for #StateOfTheWord. It’s going to be a good day.

A few years of navigating the aisles of Chemist Warehouse in Australia prepared me well for the experience that is Don Quijote.

This won’t matter to most of you but it’s super awesome to see artists I enjoy supporting getting some love from their fans. It doesn’t happen like this in North America. There was a group of us taking photos of SEVENTEEN members as they scrolled across the big screen. This is Wonwoo, he’s great.

A bit too efficient today. From taking the right trains in the wrong direction and being confused in stations to arriving earlier than expected with no mistakes today in Osaka. Time for the next leg of this side quest before Tokyo on Sunday. I wish our trains were this good.
