From 1998 until 2025 I offered consulting services under the brand name Elless Media. I’m not currently taking on clients.
Testimonials
“I can say without hyperbole that if Larry didn’t exist, Expedia Group would need to have invented him for the incredibly complex challenge of front- and back-end content systems realignment, cross-functional alliance building, and content-systems thought leadership that he tackled during his time with us.”
Aaron Burgess, Expedia Group
“If you’re looking for someone who can step into a complicated enterprise environment, make sense of ambiguity, and get people moving in the same direction, Larry’s your guy. . . Oh, and he’s wonderful to work with, too.”
Keri Maijala, LinkedIn
“No recommendation of Larry can be complete without mentioning his extensive thought-leadership work, curating the industry’s best minds in content, AI, and knowledge graphs on his multiple beloved podcasts. I recommend them all to those wishing to learn more about these techniques, technologies, and their surrounding methods.”
Noz Urbina, Urbina Consulting
