“Everything I do is firmly rooted in a belief that curiosity and embracing adversity can ignite greatness. I live this philosophy both as a proud yet clumsy father and in 11 years spent leading teams and projects that transformed information into action in both the public (government) and private (banking and telecommunication) sectors. My experience has allowed me to harness an appetite for discovering emerging sub cultures and codifying collaborative knowledge. Thus, resulting in bold achievements that happen at the intersections between disciplines. This I believe is the core of innovation.”
