About
My innovation consulting work on 150+ programs for 100+ brands is the foundation for my deep expertise in innovation leadership, spanning from vision to strategy and implementation.
For creative teams to flourish, I strive to create an environment, which is free of gatekeeper-driven convention to fosters fearless experimentation, boundless investigation, and deep community engagement.
I am also a believer in pragmatic execution, which considers how we can move beyond speculation and theory to take steps towards actually building the things we dream about in a sustainable and fiscally responsible way.
I am currently running a startup company in the smart kitchen space. -
