His background in philosophy and storytelling has drawn him toward founders and executives: how they solve problems, make consequential decisions, and respond when life or business takes an unexpected turn.
Penn also writes atmospheric fiction about people confronting a world where power, technology, and uncertainty collide.
He is completing a PhD in political philosophy at the university of toronto, and takes on select teaching and consulting engagements in communications.
Penn has lived all over: Tehran, Paris, New York, Los Angeles— and maybe someday the moon.
