Professional/Personal Overview
I write about innovators, and how they and their innovations affect the world. I've chronicled the remaking of Warner Music Group, went to Iceland to witness the future of hydrogen fuel and penned the Prototype innovation column in the New York Times Sunday business section. My work appears in national magazines, major newspapers and Web sites. My Web site: www.mffitzgerald.com
