Charlie ONeill

Charles O'Neill is a writer, former journalist and business executive based in Massachusetts. He has spent much of his career in communications---first in newsrooms, then in corporate settings--where he learned that clarity, tone, and timing matter more than slogans.

His writing explores work, identity, ambition, and the small private moments that don't show up on LinkedIn profiles. Cool on the Outside, Screaming on the Inside is his first book, a wry, personal look at what happens when competence, image, and self-doubt coexist a little too comfortably.

He is currently working on several related projects, including a satirical novel set inside a fictional advertising agency called Panopticon.
