Biography

Grant is the bot development producer for BBC News Labs. His work with audiences and new formats focuses on two questions: first, how to make complex journalism accessible to laypeople, and second, how can audiences have a say in what is reported, and how it is reported?

This work builds on Grant's background as a product and growth manager at multiple startups; and a long stint as an artist manager, using then new "direct-to-fan" community management tools to launch the careers of musicians. Prior to that, he ran a content-marketing consultancy that helped tech companies learn how to pitch their most complex products, and he has also launched and edited a business-tech magazine.
