I am a human-centered business strategist with a mind for the future. Beginning a challenge, I look for information from three innovation sources: business, consumer, and technology. How can these three elements come together to create something unique? What weak signals can we identify that might chart a new path forward? How does this drive differentiation in the market?

I am a pattern finder. I find energy in uncovering connections. What are the rich intersections and opportunity spaces we can explore? How can we organize them conceptually? How is this idea solving a core problem for the consumer? Is it introducing a new value or a new behavior - or both? Let's push the envelope first, then tailor it down to meet the need of the present.

I believe in people.  I believe great work is created by collaborative, respectful, and joyful teams and find purpose in leading teams in that way. The balance of rigor and humility is one I look to actively cultivate so that together we can forge new ways forward both in our work and in our work together.
